Pesach for the Rest of Us and a Passover lamb recipe

Pesach_for_the_rest_of_usIn Pesach for the Rest of Us: Making the Passover Seder Your Own, author Marge Piercy shares with us how she creates her own Passover seder with a group of family and friends. In her journey through the ritual, Piercy coaxes us toward a contemporary interpretation, rethinking what is traditional, and opening the celebration to non-Jews.

Piercy also provides dozens of her own poems, blessings and recipes, including this one for cinnamon lamb. This sounds good enough to eat any time that lamb is on sale.

Cinnamon Lamb

LegoflambIngredients:

  • leg of lamb
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp. potato flour or fine matzoh meal

  2. Beat the eggs and then mix all the other ingredients.
  3. Fill the cracks and cover the outside of the lamb with the paste made from the above items.

This looks great - I'll add it to my Pesach roundup. Question, though: Does this really call for potato flour, or potato starch? They are not the same and potato flour is rarely used in Jewish cooking so I'm wondering if it's supposed to call for potato starch.

Hi Anne-Marie, I have "springtipped" your post! We have a "Think Spring" meme going, if you want to have a look:
