Matzo Kebab (mina!). syrian jewish jfs
Family Journey Damascus, Syria--Tel Aviv--Holon, Israel--Gedera Israel

Every Passover, Sigi Mantel’s grandmother Aliza made this layered Syrian dish for a Passover lunch she hosted the day after Seder. While it’s traditionally made with walnuts, says Sigi, her grandmother made it with peanuts, which were more affordable. If you don’t eat kitniyot, though, walnuts are an excellent option.

Read more about Sigi’s family in “The Syrian Grandmother Who Taught Sigi Mantel Where to Find Happiness” and find her recipes for lettuce and parsley salad, rice with black eyed peas and chard, and pickled stuffed peppers.
