Best Passover Mushroom Schnitzel Recipes

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the mushroom caps gill-side up on a baking sheet. Broil until they release their juices, about 7 minutes. Flip the mushrooms, brush the tops with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and broil until lightly browned and the juices have cooked off, 7 to 10 more minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the cabbage and onion. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, onion, caraway seeds and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the cabbage is crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water and cook until reduced, 7 more minutes. Stir in the parsley; season with salt and pepper.
• While the cabbage cooks, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Press the mushrooms with paper towels to flatten and absorb any liquid. Coat in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Fry in batches until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve with the cabbage and applesauce.

PASSOVER MUSHROOM DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stir together the matzo meal, sugar, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning in a large mixing bowl; set aside.
• Bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup of canola oil. Stir into the matzo mixture until evenly moistened, then set aside to cool. Heat the remaining canola oil and the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion and green onion, and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and celery, and cook until the celery begins to soften, about 10 minutes more.
• Whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock with the eggs, and stir into the cooled matzo mixture. Fold in the cooked vegetables until evenly mixed, then pour the mixture back into the cast-iron skillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes until browned. Stir once during this time to ensure even cooking.
