Matzo Lasagna with Eggplant

Submitted by Stuart Broz on Fri, 04/10/2009 - 7:30am

The other day, I mentioned that despite being frustrated by the arbitrariness of Passover dietary restrictions, I appreciate the cleverness that they inspire.

One of my favorite such hacks from my childhood was matzo lasagna. Strangely, it works really well, tending to be both softer and lighter than regular lasagna (matzo being far less dense than lasagna noodles). The problem with this is that I tend to eat more of it in a sitting than I would regular lasagna. My solution? Eggplant.

I hate Passover.

Strangely, my deep and abiding love of bread is not one of the reasons I hate Passover. In fact, I appreciate the creativity that dietary restrictions (particularly temporary ones) can inspire. That, however, is another post. I hate Passover primarily1 because I find many of the religious prohibitions around food to be intellectually dishonest.
