If you’re looking for something to sweeten your dinner table this Passover, Jewish dietitian and chef Micah Siva has a few ideas for you.
Growing up in Calgary, Alberta, Siva’s love for cooking came from shadowing her “quintessential Jewish grandmother” in the kitchen, said Siva, author of “NOSH: Plant-forward Recipes Celebrating Modern Jewish Cuisine.”
“Passover has always been the favorite food-based holiday in our family because it’s always been a time of experimentation and thinking outside of the box,” Siva said. “We always were the family who invited everyone and anyone to our Passover Seder.”
Now based in Northern California with her husband and baby, Siva doesn’t have extended family in the area but continues the tradition by welcoming as many people as she can — and by serving desserts that are plant forward and Passover-friendly. Passover excludes grains, which means no wheat, spelt, barley, oats and rye or products derived from them, such as beer. Ashkenazi Jews also prohibit kitniyot, which is Hebrew for legumes including beans, corn, rice, peanuts and more.
Those include her version of matzo crunch, without which “no Passover seder is complete,” she said. Her spin on the classic brittle is low-effort, customizable and light enough to enjoy after consuming all the other celebratory seder foods.
“It also has a little cinnamon in it so that you get that warmth as well. That’s more reminiscent of a pecan pie,” Siva said.
Then there are her Passover-friendly black-and-white cookies, inspired by her late father-in-law’s love of the dessert.
“He was a Bronx boy through and through, and so many food memories that my husband especially has are centered around visits to a deli with his father,” Siva said. She wanted a black-and-white cookie they could eat year-round, so her version is made with almond flour — a choice that’s a bit unconventional but provides more moisture and health benefits, Siva said.
And her gluten-free halvah brownies are chewy, chocolaty and earthy thanks to the nutty flavor of halvah, which is made from ground sesame seeds and honey.
Here’s how to make all three recipes for your loved ones this Passover or anytime.
