For The Jewish Review

It’s Passover season, one of the most delicious times of the year. Here is our round-up of where to buy the tastiest holiday treats for 2024.

Are you cooking this year? Find inspiration from Fred Meyer Grocery at its Passover page, where you’ll find recipes for smoked brisket and flourless chocolate cake with sweet wine sauce and fresh berries.

The Safeway on Barbur Boulevard (8145 SW Barbur Blvd., 503-452-6068) offers the biggest selection of kosher-for-Passover items in Oregon: dairy, meat, dry foods, and matzo. The frozen section includes brisket with sauce as well as several frozen side dishes, while the dry section contains several mixes for side dishes.

Trader Joe’s Passover offerings will likely vary by location, but The Jewish Review has confirmed that the California grocery chain’s location in Garden Home (7215 SW Garden Home Rd., Portland) is carrying a selection of kosher meats and poultry as well as Kosher wines and matzo.

Eastern European eatery Kachka (960 SE 11^th Ave., 503-235-0059) is holding a Seder on April 24. Ticket purchases benefit HIAS (a global Jewish nonprofit that assists and protects refugees of all faiths). The four-course meal includes housemade matza, a “Seder Plate” of zakuski,(traditional eastern European appetizers) and house-made, grape-based vodka infusions.

Sweet Lorraine’s Latkes and More (61 SE Yamhill St.) will serve a special Passover menu, during which time they will forgo their usual sandwiches and knishes for tzimmes, vegetarian matzo ball soup, matzo brei, matzo toffee, coconut macaroons, smoked salmon dip, and more!

New Seasons (various locations, order at catering.newseasonsmarket.com) will feature a variety of favorites including chopped liver, gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, salmon with spring onions, brisket with tomatoes, tzimmes, beet salad, sweet or savory kugel, and Passover torte. For those who want to cook the main dish at home, there’s Country Natural beef brisket and Mary’s organic whole fryer chickens.

Chef Noah Jacob, formerly of Jacob and Sons, is now applying his cooking talents at Zupan’s Markets (various locations). Jacob has been hard at work crafting a tantalizing menu of chopped chicken or faux chicken liver, charoset, potato kugel, matzo ball soup (three matzo balls a portion!) housemade gefilte fish, deviled eggs, cola-braised sweet & sour brisket, chicken Marbella, and roasted steelhead trout with pomegranate molasses. Top it all off with the “Pesadich sampler,” an assortment of lemon almond bars, raspberry almond thumbprint cookies, chocolate-dipped macaroons and pistachio sea salt matzoh toffee. Whew!

Elephants Delicatessen is offering a menu of Passover favorites for pickup. Order online at elephantsdeli.com/holidays/order-online-holiday/#/restaurants/elephantsdeli-1/8437/menus/45661 by 2 pm Saturday, Apr. 20 for pickup on Monday or Tuesday, Apr. 22-23 from 10 am-6 pm at one of four select Elephants locations. Options include brisket with tsmimmes, chicken marbella bianca and salmon with cucumber dill sauce, as well as sides, desserts, and Elephants famous matzo ball soup.

Online grocer Seattlekosher.com is making Passover deliveries to Portland. Order from a menu of meats, dairy, baked goods, and candy and sweets. Deliveries are made to two locations: Chabad of Northeast Portland (3310 NE Shaver St.) and Chabad of Southwest Portland (6612 SW Capitol Hwy.
