My Seder menu has been more or less stable for the past few years. I change a recipe occasionally, add a new one now and then, but for the most part it's been mostly the same.
Until this year.
I changed quite a bit this Passover. I was bored with some of the old stuff.
Chicken soup with matzo balls? NEVER BORING! Of course I served that!
Also, I served turkey (like my grandma and mother before me) as well as brisket. I also made my old favorite, spinach pie with matzo crust.
But, there was a new haroset (nut-free).
And lots of new vegetable dishes. Like this one, which was incredibly easy and I set it all up in advance and just popped it into the oven minutes before it was needed.
Of course, this dish is a year 'round thing. And it was so well-loved that I know it will be on my menu throughout the year.
Roasted Mushrooms and Tomatoes
- 12-14 medium-large mushrooms, cut into chunks
- 16 grape, cherry or mini-Kumato tomatoes
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the mushrooms, tomatoes, scallions and garlic in a bowl, pour the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat all the pieces. Spoon the vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning the vegetables once or twice during baking, or until tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
