Passover Matzah Tostada? why not!


Si, Esther, Mexican works for Passover menus, too!
m-m-m-m


Matzah Tostada recipes were influenced directly by Sephardic cuisine, but can accompany even brisket, a signature dish of our Ashkenazi fare.


Matzah Tortillas

Yield: 12 tortillas

2 cups matzah cake meal
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus additional oil for frying

Place the matzah cake meal, salt, warm water and 1 tablespoon oil in a bowl. Mix ingredients very well with your hands, until you form soft dough. With your hands, form 1 1/2-inch balls.

Roll balls between plastic wrap to form a tortilla shape. Preheat additional oil on a nonstick griddle or pan on a medium flame. Fry the matzah tortillas until browned.
