With these Passover main dishes, I’ve carefully selected each one to ensure they meet the guidelines of Ashkenazim (Ashkenazic Jews) observance. Meaning, they are all both chametz and kitniyot free. You won’t even find mustard as a seasoning! However, I have many, many main dish recipes on this site that you could easily adjust, like replacing butter with olive oil, or that would be suitable for less strict observants. For some inspiration check out my Fall Dinner and Pot Roast collections.
