Sephardic Passover Recipes

Cultural Context

Sephardic Passover recipes reflect the culinary traditions of Sephardic Jews, who were expelled from Spain and Portugal during the Inquisition. These dishes often incorporate spices and ingredients that are less common in Ashkenazi cuisine, such as garlic, cumin, and olive oil, celebrating the rich flavors of Mediterranean cooking. During Passover, these recipes highlight the importance of family and tradition, often featuring communal meals that bring loved ones together to observe the holiday.
