As Passover approaches this weekend, individuals are preparing to commemorate the escape of the enslaved Jews of Egypt to Mount Sinai. The holiday involves clearing homes of leavened foods and enjoying unleavened matzo at the Seder table. While some will follow traditional recipes like potato kugel, brisket, and matzo ball soup, others are taking the opportunity to clean out their pantries and freezers to herald the arrival of spring.
One individual plans to use leftover ingredients like sesame seeds, chipotles in adobo, chicken cutlets, and crushed tomatoes to make sesame chicken with creamy chipotle sauce, banana lassi, tuna salad sandwiches, and Guinness pie.
