Sephardic Passover?

[phoebe]

I think it was last year that those of us who celebrate Passover talked about the Eastern European bent of all our foods. Does anyone have some good Sephardic recipes to share? David and I attend one with colleagues, and while we dearly love everyone there, the food is often, well, just a little bland .
Any suggestions? Please!

Phoebe, being able to use rice for Passover is a great gift, IMHO! We Askenazim have to forgo that, but a risotto with artichokes (an homage to Carciofi alla Guidia) would be lovely. I have Joan Nathan's Holiday Cookbook, and it seems many of the Sephardic recipes contain fruit. She also has two menus she calls "Mixed Sephardic", with the following dishes:

Egg-Lemon Soup (Avgolemono soup)
Veal with artichokes
Asparagus
Syrian Stuffed Prunes
Rice
Fresh Fruit
Almond Macaroons

In addition, she has several interesting versions of charoset, including Egyptian, Venetian, Persian, Yemenite and one from Surinam.

Since I'm from an Ashkenaz background, I'm not much good at digging through the family recipes to help. Good luck!
