Passover is just around the corner.  Let’s think about how to create a vegan Seder and yummy kosher for Passover meals for the rest of the holiday!  You’ll be amazed at the abundance of delicious vegan Passover recipes online.  To get you started, we’ll give you some of our favorite tips for veganizing the Seder and share some sites with great recipe ideas.   Have a happy Passover!

The Seder Plate

The traditional Seder plate contains matzo, a lamb shank, a hard-boiled egg, bitter herbs, parsley and charoset (a mixture of chopped nuts, apples, wine, and honey). You can create a vegan Seder plate by substituting roasted asparagus or a roasted beet for the lamb shank and a small white eggplant for the hard-boiled egg.  For the charoset, use agave in place of the honey.

   Thanks for recommending my blog, Scratch’n'Sniff!

   I no longer blog there, but I’ve been collecting vegan Passover recipes on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/lonestarplate/vegan-passover/

   And I’ve been posting a few Passover recipes on my new blog, including a vegan matzah ball method (without kitniyot), that won’t fall apart.
