Need help with some Jewish recipes please :)

I think Whole Foods sells a GF Matzoh mix....as far as the lokshen, just add in as much as looks good to you, then use the recipe builder to weigh your portions.

Matzah and Potato Chip crusted Chicken

Depending on the amount of Chicken/Turkey you use:

1. Break up some matzah and potato chips *add whatever spices you might like* in a blender.
2. Take some eggs enough to make an egg wash
3. Roll the chicken in the egg wash and then place the chicken in the matzah/potato chip mix
4. Bake 350 until golden brown

This is how I prepare Jewish foods- I use the recipes on the side of the matzha ball box. Lol! I'm not kidding you, go in the store and check the sides of the boxes in the " Jewish foods" section. You'll be surprised how many easy tasty recipes you can find !

where in the UK do u live?

If you are planning on doing a traditional Shabbat-style dinner, I'd definitely suggest starting with the matzo ball soup. I've seen gluten free matzo...but it may just be a seasonal item available around Passover in the spring. But gluten-free noodles should be easy enough to find. You can make the matzo balls separately and add them just to his soup if you are worried about how your body will react.

Most Jews only eat matzo around Passover...when other, leavened, breads are not allowed. Frankly after a week of eating matzo, I don't want to see the stuff for another year (matzo balls are the exception to this).

I've never made chopped liver, but do find the homemade variety is always tastier than store-bought.

A traditional Friday night dinner always includes challah (the braided bread, usually made with egg) and the protein usually something like chicken or brisket, but can also be fish. A simple roasted chicken is nice...or I often do some sort of glazed chicken breasts. A potato kugel makes a nice accompaniment. Most "traditional" Jewish foods are those eaten around the holidays...but this site has some great kosher recipes...obviously not all are what one would call "traditional"

A few other ideas...stuffed cabbage, stuffed derma, noodle kugel, potato pancakes (the traditional Chanukah latkes), cholent (a hearty sort of slow-cooked stew made with meat and beans...think a Jewish cassoulet)

If your boyfriend doesn't keep kosher, mixing meat and dairy won't be an issue, but it is against the "laws" of kashrut. Rugelach is a yummy Jewish cookie...the best recipes do include dairy (butter and cream cheese...yum!)

Most of what we consider "traditional" Jewish fare comes from eastern Europe, but there is a long history of Judaism in other parts of the world. Sephardic Jews (have a culture and culinary tradition all their own.

I really like matzoh kugels, pretty easy to make. Google recipes theres so many. Not sure though if gf matzoh would work for this.

I used to love fried matzoh for breakfast, pretty easy to make, you take matzoh crackers, add an egg for each matzoh, and you break them up into smaller pieces and coat the matzoh well in the egg (scramble the eggs in a bowl first). Then you put it on a skillet with any remaining egg that didn't get coated on medium heat, and when the egg gets cooked like scrambled eggs, it's done. Then just add salt and eat.

ok, i am orthodox jewish, and i'm just wondering...
why is everybody giving passover recipes?? i seriously cannot fathom why.
do people think jews eat matzah all year round?
(that's like saying americans only eat turkey and stuffing all year round...)

ETA- there's a cookbook called "spice and spirit" which is basically "traditional jewish cooking for dummies." it may be of some help to you... that way you can cook these foods for him more often! he might appreciate the gesture.

I cant help on the recipe front but wanted to say what a sweet surprise for your partner
