Tina Wasserman, award winning author, cooking instructor and Kosher cook, shared her Passover Seder "to-do" list with KosherEye. Fascinating to read how a cooking expert plans each step of the Seder. We know we can learn a lot from her. Thank you Tina! TO Do LIST BEFORE SEDER • Set table with silver, glasses • Prepare 30 slices of horseradish, 30 pieces of arugula and dust balls of charoset in some powdered cinnamon • Place Halek in a few black glass bowls • When apple charoset comes place some in colorful glasses (above freezer) on the table with a dollop of each at each place setting on the right • Before Seder starts, there should be a sample of each of the three charoset on each plate to the right of the bowl and a sprig of arugula as well. • Each table should have a plate with Matzo on it • Prepare two or three plates with tomatoes, carrots, and pepper strips on it with a little dish of Russian dressing in the center • Place water and a sprinkling of salt in each bowl at place settings-eggs will arrive with guest and then slice and place in bowls • Pour water into glasses • Get wine ready and serve initially at Seder offering each person a variety of choices WHILE SEDER IS GOING ON: Place gefilte fish on a leaf on individual small plates and then also place 1 thin slice of fish terrine on the plate as well. • Heat soup • Heat two meat dishes can be kept in casseroles but clean up rim of lamb • Place cranberry sauce in a dish • Slice Turducken in half lengthwise and then slice crosswise into pieces. Place on silver platter and keep warm • Heat carrots and serve in that dish • Make quinoa-make sure to rinse in cold water first and then cook like rice –2 cups quinoa, 4 cups rice a little salt 15 minutes or until tender • Warm asparagus in micro or warming drawer and then place in silver server sprinkled with lemon gremolata WHILE PEOPLE ARE EATING • Set out non-frozen desserts and dessert plates and heat water for tea THANK YOU-COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!!!
