Every year I get a few comments on my article, A Very Vegetarian Passover, which is a guide for vegetarians and vegans and those that host (love) them. The recipes are great but tend to be a bit on the side dish variety. Most vegans are used to sticking with the sides and most hosts don’t have time to bother to make more, but in response to a few requests for more main dish type vegan Passover recipes, I have developed a few vegan Passover recipes that can sub for mains for the Ashkenazi vegans out there. Sephardim vegans you have a lot more options.
Portobello Carpaccio with Chimichurri
This is a really elegant appetizer for your vegan friends, very meat-like, in fact, you can even use the chimichurri for the real meat at the table, so it can do double duty.
Cauliflower Steaks with Tomato Sauce and Gremolata
Slicing large slabs of cauliflower and treating them like pan-seared steaks, turns them into a vegan’s delight. A main course you can be proud of for anyone at your table. Even if your not vegan, this is a great entree to serve any night of Passover.

This quinoa is based on the classic Persian crispy rice, but since it has nuts and potatoes and some carrots, it is substantial enough to be a main course for a vegan at your table.
I know this doesn’t look vegan, but it is easily adaptable to suit any dietary needs. It is based on a traditional cholent, but uses quinoa and no beans. For vegans, leave out the eggs and meat. Feel free to cook meat on the side if you have both meat eaters and vegans. You can add more root vegetables or mushrooms to the stew if desired.
A hearty, filling main for the vegetarians around, but a nice side dish for those eating meat as well.
You won’t believe how this lasagna is made vegan and don’t worry there are no kitniyot.

Hi Jamie! Thank you so much for this post. I know this is quite a few years old, but wanted to note that the Portobello Carpaccio with Chimichurri recipe lists honey as an ingredient which is not vegan. A good alternative can be agave syrup!

We are meat eaters, but will be hosting some vegans this year, and I didn’t even know where to start. This is a huge help. I cannot thank you enough!
