My Mom has been making the same for the past 30 years: Roast Beef, cooked in a pot with a delicious Tomato-Wine Gravy, and lots of Onions, Potatoes and Carrots. (She also makes chicken-soup with homemade egg-noodles for first course of Shulchan-Orech... OY... My mouth is wattering.........

I call it potted. I put chicken, meat, potatoes, carrots, and onion into a pot. Put water (not as much for a soup). and cook it for 1-2 hours. Not very healthy, but it tastes delicious.

I'll be making a baked chicken with orange juice.

Side dishes will be matzah farfel, stewed zucchini, potato kugel and quinoa tabuli.

I think cm meant everyone is already almost full, and its really late to have more than a small light meal. why the overeating? I always keep shulchan aruch light because of that.

Shephard's Pie:

Brown 1 lb. chopped meat with salt and pepper. Remove from pan, then brown 1 onion (you can add garlic and mushrooms, if you use them).

Make mashed potatoes with plenty of fried onions, salt and pepper to taste, and add an egg. Layer the potatoes, meat, then a top layer of potatoes. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 350 until golden.

We've been eating this for Shulchan Orech for 30 years. You can serve it with applesauce and vegetable kugel for a complete meal.

Enjoy!

All the wine/grape juice, matzah and marror (if you use Romaine lettuce, you consume a significant amount). Then, you need to leave room for the Afikoman (not to mention two more kossos).

Potted meat. (+ potato kugel, tzimmes, purple cabbage salad, carrot salad)
Chicken for the kids.

Hey Yesha! Where'd you find quinoa? (I guess it's NOT kitniyos?)

Quinoa being Kitniyot (or outright Chametz) is so last Pesach's Chumra ;)

Since no one I know could actually put any names to any of the Rabbis who supposedly sat on the Beit Din which decided to change quinoa's status after 15 years from being not Kitniyot to Kitniyot, our Rabbi holds that Rav Lau's original Psak still holds. Therefore so do we.

my family has no problem finding room to eat... besides my father.

we have a full meal for shulchan orech. oh, u asked about the main dish.

ok, so by that point we have cooked or baked chicken with either mashed potatoes or kugel. there is usually cucumber salad too.
