The holiday's hallmark is the Passover Seder<\/a>, a ritual meal that involves telling the Passover story with symbolic foods.\r\n\r\nWhile many Passover<\/a> traditions are fairly ubiquitous around the world\u2014including the Seder, keeping kosher<\/a>, and the traditions of eating unleavened bread (like matzo<\/a>) and bitter herbs, or maror<\/a>\u2014some dishes and rituals are particularly unique. In the United States, for example, some families use Passover props and games<\/a> to help tell the holiday story. Here are a few other interesting Passover traditions from across the globe.\r\nMimouna<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nMimouna<\/em> is a celebration of the end of Passover, when Jews can resume eating leavened foods (chametz<\/em>). This post-Passover tradition originated in Morocco and has spread to other countries including Israel.\r\n\r\nThe Mimouna festivities typically begin after sundown on the last day of Passover. Participants traditionally open their homes to guests and serve sweet treats. Since most grains are not kosher for Passover<\/a> and are forbidden during the holiday week, many traditional Mimouna desserts are made with marzipan<\/a>, nuts and fruit.\r\n\r\nMoufleta<\/em> (alternatively mofleta or muffleta<\/em>), is one of the most traditional Mimouna foods. These thin pancakes are topped with butter and honey, and though they contain flour and yeast, they're relatively easy to make quickly after Passover ends. You can find moufleta recipes in several popular Jewish cookbooks, including Breaking Breads: A New World of Israeli Baking<\/em><\/a> by Uri Scheft.\r\n<\/em>\r\nBimuelos<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nBimuelos<\/em> or bu\u00f1uelos<\/em><\/a> are fried doughnuts originally from Spain. Some people serve them as a Hanukah food<\/a>, but there are also recipes for bimuelos made with matzo, which turns them into a chametz-free Passover dessert<\/a>.\r\n\r\nFood blogger and cookbook author Samantha Ferraro grew up eating her mother's baklava bimuelos<\/a>, inspired by her mother's Turkish roots. These bimuelos contain ground matzo, eggs, cinnamon, brown sugar and cardamom. They're fried in oil and covered with pistachios and rosewater<\/a> syrup.\r\nScallion Smacking<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nIn Iran and Afghanistan, it's a Passover tradition for Seder participants to playfully hit each other with scallions. This tradition occurs right before singing \"Dayenu,\" a Passover song that's sung at Seders around the world. The custom represents the whipping of Jewish slaves under the Pharaoh's rule in Egypt.\r\n\r\nPersian Jews have other unique Passover traditions. For instance, the Persian version of charoset<\/a> (the traditional Passover dish containing nuts and apples) is known as haleg<\/em> or hallaq, <\/em>and has additional ingredients including bananas, dates, pistachios and cardamom\u2014making it closer to Sephardic date charoset<\/a>.\r\nOrange on the Seder Plate<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nIn some Jewish households, you'll find an orange on the Passover Seder plate as a show of support for women and members of the LGBTQ+ community. A common myth is that the orange is a feminist act of defiance in response to a man who once said that women don't belong in the rabbinate just as oranges don't belong on the Seder plate<\/a>.\r\n\r\nHowever, according to an opinion article by Susannah Heschel<\/a> (the Dartmouth College Jewish studies professor credited with starting this Passover tradition in the 1980s), the orange represents the fruitfulness of gay and lesbian Jews. At her Seders, Heschel directs participants to eat an orange wedge and spit out the seeds in repudiation of homophobia.\r\nRoman Fried Artichokes<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nJewish-style fried artichokes (carciofi alla giud\u00eca<\/em>) are a traditional Passover side dish<\/a> in Rome. As food writer Joan Nathan explains in her cookbook, King Solomon's Table<\/em><\/a>, Roman artichokes have a purplish color and are slightly smaller than American varieties.\r\n\r\nSince artichokes are in season in the spring (around the time of Passover), they're a traditional ingredient in many Passover dishes. (Psst:<\/em> Here's how to cook artichokes<\/a> in the oven. We also have dozens of other artichoke recipes<\/a> to inspire you.)\r\nLarge Public Seders<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe \"World's Largest Seder\" has been happening annually in Kathmandu, Nepal, since 1989. Chabad-Lubavitch\u2014a global organization of Hasidic Jews\u2014hosts this Seder, as well as other public Seders around the world.\r\n\r\nMore than 2,000 people have attended the Kathmandu Seder in recent years, according to Chabad.org<\/a>. The Chabad Seder in Koh Samui, Thailand, has drawn a similarly large crowd. Many participants of these Seders are Jewish expatriates traveling or working in Southeast Asia.\r\nMinas (Matzo Pies)<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nMatzo pies, or minas, <\/em>are a traditional Passover dish in many parts of the world, including Turkey, Greece, Spain and parts of Africa. Made with softened matzo and an egg finish, minas are somewhat similar to matzo brei<\/a>. However, matzo pies are more structurally similar to lasagna, layered with various fillings.\r\n\r\nSome of the most common matzo pie fillings are spinach and cheese (a bit like spanakopita)<\/a>, and ground beef or lamb. You can also stuff them with other meats or seasonal spring vegetables like leeks, asparagus or artichokes. For a vegan version, use cashews, avocado and dairy-free shredded cheese, as in this recipe from the Vegan Atlas<\/a>, pictured above.\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tBubbe's Best Passover Recipes<\/div>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t1 \/ 18<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/div>Charoset<\/a>This easy charoset recipe, a sweet combination of apples and walnuts, is a must-have at every Passover table.Go to Recipe<\/a><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\nEditor's Tip:<\/strong> When using pantry ingredients in these recipes, double-check that they have been certified Kosher for Passover.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/div>Flavorful Matzo Ball Soup<\/a>A variety of winter vegetables gives the broth for this classic Jewish soup a deep flavor.
