a very sababa passover menu

This Sababa Passover menu contains tried and true recipes people have been making all year and love, so I know they work and will work for you during this…unusual holiday season. The ribs and cabbage can be made the day before, you throw the soup on the stove the night before Seder, and you might already be making the olive oil chocolate spread as a Corona-era snack. The salmon is a room-temperature dream, and the Preserved Lemon Spread is something everyone should be making anyway – I guarantee you will use it up, so make a double batch. The Matza Toffee Crunch is the only non-Sababa recipe, but it's a fan fave, made with dark chocolate, sea salt flakes, and hazelnuts. Enjoy!
