Passover is about freedom, but it’s also about food. Very specific food.

Whether you are looking for a pre-made feast or sourcing the ingredients to make your own kosher for Pesach spread, a range of Portland purveyors have the makings for a scrumptious seder.

Zupan’s Markets’ Passover catering menu  features all the essentials of a traditional seder with main dishes including sweet and sour brisket ala New York’s Carnegie Deli, Chicken Marbella and a roasted salmon for those preferring a pescatarian or parve meal. Sides and a selection of chametz-free desserts are also available. Order online at zupans.com by Apr. 3 for pickup between Mar. 31 and Apr. 8 at any of Zupan’s locations in the Portland area.

Elephants Delicatessen offers a Passover menu including matzo ball soup, potato latkes and entrees like brisket in tzimmes sauce, apricot chicken tagine or salmon with cucumber dill sauce. Orders should be made two days in advance and can be delivered or picked up from Elephants’ locations in Beaverton, Lake Oswego, South Portland or their central catering kitchen in Southeast Portland. The Passover menu is available Wednesday through Thursday, Apr. 1-9, and can be ordered at elephantsdeli.com or by calling 503-937-1099.

New Seasons Market has Passover-themed catering options, including brisket with tomatoes, salmon with spring onions and their house-made gefilte fish, as well as large cuts of lamb and beef and ground gefilte fish mix, available to pre-order on their website (catering.newseasonsmarket.com/items/category/passover) for pickup at any of the Portland-area locations.

For those seeking a kosher catered option, Kashrootz Catering’s Passover menu has a variety of prix fixe feasts and ala-carte options, including all the seder essentials (right down to the salt water). The ordering deadline has passed, but Chef Shulamit Urenia said that limited capacity remains – those interested can inquire at kashrootzcatering@gmail.com. Urenia advises that, as she observes Sephardic customs, kitniyot will be present in her kitchen during the holiday.

For those ok with a little cooking, Rabbi Tuvia Berzow of Oregon Kosher told The Jewish Review that a selection of kosher for Passover products, including Natural & Kosher-brand sliced and shredded cheeses and Mon Cuisine meat mains, will be available at several Costco warehouses in the area this year.

Safeway on Southwest Barbur Boulevard in Portland once again offers a large display of kosher-for-Passover products, and Trader Joe’s on Southwest Garden Home Road is also offering a large selection of kosher products, including a large selection of kosher meats. Fred Meyer stores have displays with Passover-products set up in locations around the area, a spokesperson told The Jewish Review.
