			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Traditionally there are many food restrictions during the eight days of Passover. If you&#8217;re vegan, preparing a wide variety of foods during Passover can be overwhelming at times. Below are several vegan recipes that you can prepare during Passover.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.vrg.org/catalog/images/passoverbooks.JPG" class="alignleft" /> <i>Need more Passover recipes? <a href="http://www.vrg.org/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&#038;cPath=1&#038;products_id=26">Get both Vegan Passover Recipes and No Cholesterol Passover Recipes for just $13 and receive FREE shipping.</a> A must have for every home that wants to celebrate a healthy and ethical Passover. Enjoy egg-less blintzes, knishes, apple latkes, sweet and sour stuffed cabbage and much much more.</i></p>
<p><b>A.M. Crunchies</b><br />
(Makes about 5 cups)</p>
<p>&frac14; cup oil<br />
&frac34; cup maple syrup<br />
3 cups matzo farfel<br />
&frac12; cup coarsely chopped almonds<br />
&frac12; cup coarsely chopped pecans<br />
&frac12; cup raisins<br />
&frac14; cup copped dates<br />
&frac12; teaspoon minced fresh ginger<br />
&frac14; teaspoon ground cinnamon</p>
<p>In a heat resistant, microwave-safe bowl, combine oil and syrup. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, stirring once, until boiling. Add farfel and nuts and mix well, so dry ingredients are coated.</p>
<p>Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes, stirring twice. Mixture will be sticky when it comes out of the microwave. As it cools, it will become crisp.<br />
Place mixture in a storage container and allow it to cool, stirring several times to break it up into pieces. Finally, stir in raisins, ginger, and cinnamon.</p>
<p>Note: Serve for breakfast or as a snack. You can store the crunchies for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.</p>

<p>Note: Make a double batch of this recipe, as the flavor gets even better the second day.</p>

<p>Traditionally, hamentashen are served during the Jewish holiday of Purim. This cookie is usually prepared with eggs; however, here’s a vegan version which you can find in VRG&#8217;s <b><a href="http://www.vrg.org/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&#038;cPath=1&#038;products_id=13">The Lowfat Jewish Vegetarian Cookbook</a></b>!</p>
<p><br clear="all"></p>
<p>Hamentashen<br />
Serves 15</p>
<p>1&frac12; cups unbleached white flour<br />
1&frac12; cups whole wheat pastry flour<br />
1&frac12; teaspoons baking powder<br />
1/3 cup oil<br />
2/3 cup water<br />
&frac12; cup applesauce<br />
3 Tablespoons orange juice<br />
5 Tablespoons prune or poppy seed filling (found in the baking or Kosher section of<br />
supermarkets)</p>
<p>Preheat oven to 350 degrees.</p>
<p>Mix all the ingredients, except filling, together in a large bowl. Knead dough for<br />
a few minutes. Separate into 3 balls. Cover balls of dough with a slightly damp towel<br />
and refrigerate dough for about 3 hours. Remove dough from refrigerator and roll balls<br />
of dough out to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out approximately fifteen 4-inch rounds. Place<br />
1 teaspoon prune or poppy seed filling in center. Form a triangle out of the dough by<br />
folding in edges but still leaving some space in the middle of the dough for the filling to<br />
remain mostly uncovered.</p>
<p>Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until dough is brown. Serve.</p>
<p>Note: If you are unable to purchase prune or poppy seed filling in your local supermarket, simply pur&eacute;e a few prunes with a little fruit juice.<br />
