Happy {Pesach} Passover!
A traditional Passover dinner centers on symbolic Seder foods, matzo-based dishes, slow-cooked meats, and flourless desserts, all prepared in accordance with kosher-for-Passover rules.
Seder Plate Essentials:🍎🥜🌿🍛
The Seder plate sets the tone for the meal and includes symbolic items:
Karpas: A green vegetable, usually parsley, dipped in salt water to awaken the palate and symbolize spring and renewal.
Maror: Bitter herbs, typically horseradish, representing the bitterness of slavery.
Charoset: A sweet mixture of apples, nuts, wine, and spices, symbolizing the mortar used by the Israelites in Egypt.
Chazeret: A second bitter herb, often romaine lettuce, used in combination with maror.
Zeroa: A roasted shank bone, representing the Passover sacrifice.
Beitzah: A roasted egg, symbolizing mourning and renewal, often eaten later in the meal.
