Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Put the mushroom caps gill-side up on a baking sheet. Broil until they release their juices, about 7 minutes. Flip the mushrooms, brush the tops with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and broil until lightly browned and the juices have cooked off, 7 to 10 more minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the cabbage and onion. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, onion, caraway seeds and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the cabbage is crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water and cook until reduced, 7 more minutes. Stir in the parsley; season with salt and pepper.
- While the cabbage cooks, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Press the mushrooms with paper towels to flatten and absorb any liquid. Coat in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Fry in batches until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve with the cabbage and applesauce.
PASSOVER MUSHROOM DRESSING
Southern dressing for Pesach made with matzo meal. Recipe can be tweaked to suit your taste. My family likes browned dressing with lots of pepper, but you can cook for less time at a lower temp to get dressing that is more moist with no 'crunch'. Also use any combination of mushrooms; you can also add more if you really like mushrooms.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Stir together the matzo meal, sugar, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning in a large mixing bowl; set aside.
- Bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup of canola oil. Stir into the matzo mixture until evenly moistened, then set aside to cool. Heat the remaining canola oil and the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion and green onion, and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and celery, and cook until the celery begins to soften, about 10 minutes more.
- Whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock with the eggs, and stir into the cooled matzo mixture. Fold in the cooked vegetables until evenly mixed, then pour the mixture back into the cast-iron skillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes until browned. Stir once during this time to ensure even cooking.

PASSOVER MUSHROOM SCHNITZEL
These are good for lunch, as a snack or as breakfast on a matza. Of course they can be made with flour too. I usually make a bunch and freeze them.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tbs oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Fry scallions and onions 3-4 minutes until soft.
- Add mushrooms and garlic.
- Sauté over medium high heat 10-15 minutes, until liquid has evaporated.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and let cool.
- Stir in parsley and eggs.
- Gradually add matzo meal until mixture has enough body to hold together during frying.
- Add another 1-2 tablespoons matzo meal if necessary.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat 2 tbs oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
- Form each schnitzel by placing 1 heaping tbs of the mushroom mixture in the hot oil and press with back of a wooden spoon to a 3 inch diameter.
- Fry 3-4 minutes per side until lightly browned.
- Drain on paper towels.
Tips:
- For the best schnitzel, use a meat mallet to pound the mushrooms thin and tender. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the breading.
- To make sure the schnitzel is crispy, coat it in breadcrumbs twice. The first coat will help the egg wash adhere to the mushrooms, and the second coat will create a golden-brown crust.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the mushrooms thin. Just be sure to cover them with plastic wrap first to prevent them from sticking to the rolling pin.
- You can use any type of breadcrumb you like for this recipe. Panko breadcrumbs will give you a crispy schnitzel, while regular breadcrumbs will give you a more tender schnitzel.
- If you don't have any egg wash, you can use milk instead. Just whisk together 1/2 cup of milk and 1 egg in a bowl.
- Be sure to heat the oil until it is shimmering before adding the schnitzel. This will help prevent the schnitzel from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the schnitzel for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the schnitzel, or it will become tough.
Conclusion:
Passover Mushroom Schnitzel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or appetizer. It is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms, and it is also a good option for vegetarians and vegans. With its crispy crust and tender interior, this schnitzel is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
