Recipes for Passover (Part 1): Monday Morning Cooking Club

Let’s use this day to flood the world with goodness and light.

It’s Day 613 of the Israel-Gaza war.
It’s Day 613 and 55 hostages are still being held in Gaza.
613 is a significant number, the number of deeds/commandments in the Torah.

I’m inspired by Rachel and Jon @bring.hersh.home to use this day to flood the world with goodness and light.

And how am I going to do my (tiny) part?
(Unsurprisingly) I cooked. And I gave what I cooked to someone else. (Mine was chicken soup and matzo balls which I dropped in to someone who really needed comfort food!)
And if we all undertake a (tiny) part, together we can flood the world.

I thought I’d share this (simple but bloody delicious) recipe today so that if you’re looking for some cooking inspo, looking for something that’s perfect for gifting, here it is.

Knackerbrod: Seed Crackers

100 g (⅔ cup) white sesame seeds
100 g (½ cup) pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Mix together the sesame seeds, pepitas, sunfl ower seeds, linseeds and salt until
well combined. Add the besan flour.
