Vegetarian Recipes for Passover = using Wild Rice

[freda kurtz]

Need help with interesting side dishes..........any one have a nyummy wild rice recipe..........remember no meat or cheese.............. we're vegetarian (some are vegan)!

I've been making a Wild Rice Salad lately that I had many years ago in Minnesota:

You could easily leave out the turkey and swap out other ingredients as needed.

can you use eggs? If not, you could use an egg substitute for the following zucchini kugel recipe. It is so delicious!
Zucchini Kugel, Pesach I (P, KLP, TNT)
Source: Rabbi Blumenkrantz's, z'l, Pesach Guide
Serves: 6

5 zucchini
1 onion
6 eggs
1 cup potato starch--I use matzah meal instead
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup oil
3 tsp. baking powder

Preheat oil (pour into roasting pan and put in oven as it preheats).

Grate squash and onions. Add remaining ingredients.

Add hot oil to batter. Bake at 350°F for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours.

Enjoy!

Not everyone eats rice on Passover- just make sure that whoever joins you for the meals has the same dietary guidelines as you do.

wild rice isn't actually rice, though?

i have some good vegan wild rice recipes but don't know what the problem would be wrt kosher/kushrut, so please give me a clue if i am missing something, tia!

please use real hand-harvested wild rice and not fake paddy-raised rice.

[freda kurtz]

i really don't know what type of wild rice I have........but i did buy it in a good quality health food store............ my menu is: for the vegetarians: gefilte fish with salad.........dill pickles, horseradish; farfel kugelach/matzah.................. then am serving vegetarian 'chicken' soup with matzo balls (made with egg creations) and homemade vegan 'chicken' kreplach!
spinach kugel, farfel stuffing, honey/lemon carrot tzimmes, something made with yuba sticks....(I need an interesting recipe) any ideas..........perhaps something that has a beefy flavour (remember, vegans are eating this); (I could make a bbq recipe........but that's been made too often in our family..........) I need new ideas...........
then, we'll have a pavlova cake with strawberries........... any ideas for vegan whipped cream that holds it's substance?

See my dilemma???? PLEASE HELP ME, make this menu interesting and pleasing..........
thanks,
freda

Vegetarians don't eat fish, unless you have a recipe for a mock gefilte fish.

For the vegan whipped cream, try the frozen food section at Whole Foods.

[freda kurtz]

can you please give me your favourite or most popular recipe for vegan wild rice?

and, have you ever used dried bean curd sticks? do you have a good and nyummy recipe for that too?

and one more thing? how can i make a vegan whipped cream that doesn't lose it's consistency; need it for my pavlova cake.........

much appreciated.

[GilaB]

Bean curd (and any other bean/bean product) falls into the same category as rice - if someone doesn't eat one on Passover, they're not going to eat the other.

Perhaps you could make something with quinoa, rather than wild rice? Quinoa is widely accepted.

[soupkitten]

but again-- wild rice is not actually rice!!! if quinoa is fine, isn't wild rice okay as well?

[paprkutr]

I agree. You need to check it out. We don't eat rice on passover. I make a farfel side dish that is served like rice. I put sauteed onions and in one I put sauteed mushrooms. I was looking to make a kishka

[freda kurtz]

do you have a really good kishke recipe? i've got a few..........maybe yours is better than mine........just curious.........would you mind sending it to me?

[paprkutr]

I don't have one, I just started looking for one. I have never made it before it just sounded really good.

[freda kurtz]

we're all on the 'same page' if you know what I mean........... i know that the sephardic jews do eat rice on passover...........

[magiesmom]

what matters is what page your guests are on.
i make a nice wild rice pilaf by browning the grain in a little oil, sauteeing in some onions and mushrooms, adding vegetable broth and cooking on top of the stove or in the oven until done ( can't remember the time for wild rice)
I would do it with matzoh farfel for seder to be safe.
