Welcome you to the American Cookbook Series. You are handling the book “Jewish Cookbook 365 Volume 1” The culinary scene in the United States has never been passive. In my 25 years of experience in cooking and writing, it’s always been dynamic and active. Nowadays, the American food culture has become more interesting and livelier. We enthusiastically read food magazines, cookbooks, and cooking columns. We buy the fresher, tasty, and more varied food items in supermarkets. We buy local produce from farmers' markets is an exciting change that has become widespread now. Lastly, we always go for the best ingredients available, such as free-range chickens, stone-ground flours and meals, fragrant fresh herbs, and extra virgin olive oils. For this American cookbook series, I explored the food cultures in Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, and North Africa. I had much interest in the so-called exotic cuisines that were quickly becoming popular. Americans were searching outside the country for inspiration and sustenance, and this curiosity was really something worth supporting. It was an awesome experience traveling the world, sampling new dishes and picking up ideas, and then trying out all I had gathered back home right in my own kitchen. Soon after I was done writing the American cookbook series, I looked inward with a newfound passion for local American foods. I felt a spark burning while I was starting my book tour in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe the colorful Pacific oysters in the Pike Place Market in Seattle had to do with it. Or perhaps, it was the season's first Copper River salmon, grilled to perfection and paired with an Oregon Pinot Noir that’s flowery and fruity. Or it could be my first time to sample caramelized Kasu cod at Seattle's Dahlia Lounge. I can't tell for sure. All I knew was that I had to begin writing the U.S Cookbook. You are handling the book “Jewish Cookbook 365 Volume 1” - Take a Tasty Tour of America, With 365 Best U.S Recipes from All 50 States! Excited as I was to go back home, my desire for traveling to find more ideas grew stronger. I wished to have more trips so that I could taste the food offerings in every place's fine-dining restaurants, diners, inns, and luncheonettes. I wished to see for myself the harvest of grains, fish, veggies, and fruits, as well as to join the celebration of these harvests at county fairs and local festivals. In the process, I wished to find remarkable home-cooked food and meet some talented yet unknown home cooks. Throughout the next three years, my research adventures took me from Maine to the Florida Panhandle, from Chesapeake Bay crab cakes to crab Louis on San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf where I had a buffalo dish in South Dakota, and wild boar in Texas hill country. I fished the icy Gulf of Alaska and visited the pineapple groves in Hawaii, looking for the oldest and newest, most authentic, boldest, and of course, the best American dishes.
You also see more different types of American recipes such as: Cajun Cookbook Hawaii Cookbook The Southern Cookbook Tex-Mex Cookbook Texas Cookbook ... Thank you for choosing “Jewish Cookbook 365 Volume 1”. I really hope that each book in the series will be always your best friend in your little kitchen. Let’s live happily and have a tasty tour to Jewish! Enjoy each page of the book,
365 Amazing Jewish Recipes

1. A Nineties Twist to a Grandmothers Roast Chicken
My grandmother made a great Friday night dinner in her two-story limestone in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. She might as well have run a restaurant. There was lots and lots and lots of stuff—kreplach, gribenes, gefilte fish, blintzes, homemade noodles, roast chicken, glazed carrots, egg barley with dried Polish mushrooms. In 1918 during an influenza epidemic my grandmother was 20 years old with two children. First her husband died and two days later her mother died. With eight younger siblings and two of her own, she took care of ten kids in the family. Then an aunt caught the flu and died leaving eight or nine children. My grandmother then married her uncle and raised 18 kids. The secret to her roast chicken was to cook it long enough to render the fat from the chicken and make it crispy.
Serving: Yield: 6 servings Ingredients 4 cloves garlic or to taste 1 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces salt and freshly ground pepper to taste sprigs of fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage 1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil Nutrition Information Calories: 533 Total Fat: 40 g (62%) Saturated Fat: 10 g (51%) Cholesterol: 154 mg (51%) Sodium: 737 mg (31%) Total Carbohydrate: 2 g (1%) Protein: 39 g (77%) Fiber: 1 g (4%)
2. Almond Macaroons
Passover without macaroons is like Rosh Hashanah without sweet honey cake or Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie. Sephardic macaroons use lemon zest for flavoring rather than almond extract. The secret to good macaroons is beating the egg whites just right and not overbaking the cookies.
Serving: Makes about 3 dozen Ingredients 3 large egg whites Zest of 1 large lemon 1 cup sugar 1 1/2 cups blanched finely ground almonds Cooking spray, butter, or margarine for greasing pans Nutrition Information Calories: 269 Total Fat: 14 g (22%) Saturated Fat: 1 g (5%) Sodium: 22 mg (1%) Total Carbohydrate: 32 g (11%) Protein: 7 g (14%) Fiber: 4 g (14%)

15. Apricot Hamantaschen
Parve Ellen: These filled pastries, tri-cornered to mimic Haman's hat and served during Purim celebrations, were a source of conflict in the Kassoff family growing up. Mom didn't give in to her children's entreaties not to buy any filled with prunes or poppy seeds, so a grabfest would occur amongst my brothers and me to see who could get to the apricot-filled ones first.

Ashkenazic Sour Cream Coffee Cake Smeteneh Kchen
Coffee cakes rank among the most popular of comfort foods, welcomed at breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and as the name indicates, coffee breaks. A coffee cake batter is generally more liquid than a quick bread one and contains a bit more sugar, and as a result, the final product is lighter and moister. On the other hand, coffee cakes tend to be less sweet than butter cakes. There are many versions of kuchen, this streusel- topped sour cream type being a very popular one. It is commonly served at the meal following Yom Kippur, or Shavuot, and on Sabbath afternoons or the melaveh malcha ("accompanying the queen") party following the Sabbath. For the later occasion, spices are added to the batter and topping, reflecting those used during the havdallah ceremony signaling the end of the Sabbath.
Serving: One 9-inch square or Bundt cake; 6 to 9 servings Ingredients 1/2 cup granulated or brown sugar, or 1/4 cup each 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg or cloves (optional) 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter or margarine, softened 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans, grated coconut, golden raisins, or chocolate chips, or 1 cup any combination (optional) 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter or margarine, softened 1 cup granulated or brown sugar or 1/2 cup each 4 large egg yolks, or 3 large eggs 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream or plain yogurt 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (optional) 1 cup confectioners' sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract 1 to 2 tablespoons milk or water Nutrition Information Calories: 726 Total Fat: 34 g (52%) Saturated Fat: 20 g (101%) Cholesterol: 204 mg (68%) Sodium: 448 mg (19%) Total Carbohydrate: 98 g (33%) Protein: 8 g (17%) Fiber: 2 g (6%)

"This Jewish treat is a hybrid of sweet roll, swirl bread, and coffee cake. It's a sweet yeast dough that you roll out, fill, and roll up like a jelly roll, then cut, twist, and bake in a loaf pan.

31. Borscht
Rae: What I love about our updated version of this peasant soup is that it's based on an actual beet broth—not beef stock, as in a lot of Russian borschts, and not even vegetable stock to which beets have been added. This is a really beet-y, and surprisingly hearty, borscht. And it's completely vegetarian.

Braised Brisket with ThirtySix Cloves of Garlic
In my take on the French classic, chicken with forty cloves of garlic becomes brisket with thirty-six cloves. All that feisty garlic turns sweet and mellow with gentle braising; when pureed, it forms a seductive gravy, which is finished with a zing of chopped raw garlic and lemon zest. Why thirty-six cloves? Beginning with aleph, which equals one, each letter of the Hebrew alphabet stands for a number, and so every word has a numerical value. All multiples of eighteen, the numerical value of the Hebrew word chai, life, are considered especially auspicious, which is why donations to charity and wedding and bar mitzvah gifts are often given in multiples of eighteen.
Serving: Makes 8 servings Ingredients About 36 fat unpeeled garlic cloves (1 2/3 to 2 cups) or an equivalent amount of smaller cloves, plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic 3 tablespoons olive oil A first-or second-cut beef brisket (about 5 pounds), trimmed of excess fat, wiped with a damp paper towel, and patted dry 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 3 cups chicken broth, preferably homemade or good-quality low-sodium purchased 3 or 4 fresh thyme sprigs, or 2 teaspoons dried leaves 2 fresh rosemary sprigs, plus 1 teaspoon chopped leaves Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest Nutrition Information Calories: 868 Total Fat: 69 g (107%) Saturated Fat: 26 g (132%) Cholesterol: 269 mg (90%) Sodium: 900 mg (37%) Total Carbohydrate: 5 g (2%) Protein: 53 g (106%) Fiber: 1 g (4%)

36. Braised Meat with Butternut Squash
(Stufadin di Zuca Zala) As many Ashkenazic Jews emigrated to the Veneto, it's not surprising to find a Venetian recipe for a stew reminiscent of the familiar Ashkenazic tsimmes, in which sweet potatoes or squash are paired with meat for a savory one-dish meal. In Mantua, a similar dish made with a beef rump roast is called brasato Rachele. Despite the use of the squash and Marsala, the stufadin is not overly sweet.
Serving: Makes 4 to 6 servings Ingredients 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 large onions, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 2 pounds cubed veal for stew Salt to taste 1 cup Marsala or other sweet wine 1 butternut squash, about 1 pound, halved, seeds and fibers removed, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, and parboiled in salted water for 5 minutes 1 1/2 cups meat or chicken broth, or as needed Freshly ground black pepper to taste Nutrition Information Calories: 527 Total Fat: 21 g (32%) Saturated Fat: 4 g (20%) Cholesterol: 193 mg (64%) Sodium: 1350 mg (56%) Total Carbohydrate: 24 g (8%) Protein: 50 g (101%) Fiber: 4 g (15%)

Cardamom loses flavor and aroma quickly, so be sure to store it in an airtight container in a cool dry place — never near your stove.

Taiglach (little pieces of fried dough dredged in honey) are eaten for celebratory occasions like Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Chanukah, Purim, weddings, and births. Ceciarchiata means "chickpeas" or "little bits" in Italian. This festive taiglach is similar in nature to the French croquembouche, though it's a crown, not a mountain. It is a spectacular centerpiece with its clusters of dough and nuts, and is totally addictive.
Serving: Makes 8-12 Servings Ingredients 3 large eggs, slightly beaten 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup olive or vegetable oil 1 cup honey 1/2 cup toasted and coarsely chopped hazelnuts* 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 cup toasted and coarsely chopped almonds* *Mrs. Machlin suggests toasting whole hazelnuts and almonds by preheating the oven to 550° and placing the nuts on a cookie sheet on the middle rack. Roast for 4-5 minutes, shaking the pan a couple of times. Watch them carefully, so they don't burn.

59. Central European Cheese Dumplings
These popular dumplings are called topfenknodel in Austria and Germany, turos gomboc in Hungary, syrove knedliky in Czech, and kluski in Poland. Topfen, also called quark in German, is a thick, slightly tangy central European curd cheese popular for making dumplings, spreads, and toppings. Since topfen is generally unavailable in America, a little cream cheese is added to the pot cheese to approximate the original texture and flavor. You can substitute farmer cheese for the pot cheese, but first wrap it in several layers of paper towels, then let it drain for about 10 minutes to extract some of the excess moisture. Do not use cottage cheese, which contains too much liquid and is too firm. My grandmother served savory cheese dumplings on Shavuot as an appetizer, accompanied with sour cream or browned bread crumbs (2 cups fresh bread crumbs sautéed in 6 tablespoons butter until golden), or a sweetened version as dessert.
Serving: Makes about 16 dumplings, 5 to 6 servings Ingredients 1 3/4 cups (14 ounces) pot or soft goat cheese 1/4 cup (2 ounces) cream cheese or mascarpone, softened 1/4 cup grated onion 1 teaspoon table salt or 2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened About 3/4 cup semolina flour, farina (not quick-cooking), or matza meal Nutrition Information Calories: 411 Total Fat: 27 g (42%) Saturated Fat: 17 g (87%) Cholesterol: 136 mg (45%) Sodium: 435 mg (18%) Total Carbohydrate: 20 g (7%) Protein: 21 g (42%) Fiber: 1 g (4%)

87. Claires Mandelbrot

Mandelbrot is a traditional Jewish cookie that resembles biscotti but is more tender. Claire Danuff sprinkles her cookies with cinnamon sugar before baking, but we prefer them plain.

88. Classic Gefilte Fish
Gefilte fish is one of those recipes where touch and taste are essential ingredients. A basic recipe goes this way:"You put in this and add that." If you don't want to taste the raw fish, add a bit more seasoning than you normally would. What makes this recipe Galicianer (southern Polish) is the addition of sugar. For some reason the farther south in Poland, the more sugar would be added. A Lithuanian Jew would never sweeten with sugar but might add beets to the stock. I have added ground carrot and parsnip to the fish, something that is done in the Ukraine, because I like the slightly sweet taste and rougher texture. If you want a darker broth, do not peel the onions and leave them whole.
Serving: Yield: about 26 patties (P) Ingredients 7 to 7 1/2 pounds whole carp, whitefish, and pike, filleted and ground* 4 quarts cold water or to just cover 3 teaspoons salt or to taste 3 onions, peeled 4 medium carrots, peeled 2 tablespoons sugar or to taste 1 small parsnip, chopped (optional) 3 to 4 large eggs Freshly ground pepper to taste 1/2 cup cold water (approximately) 1/3 cup matzah meal (approximately) *Ask your fishmonger to grind the fish. Ask him to reserve the tails, fins, heads, and bones. Be sure he gives you the bones and trimmings. The more whitefish you add, the softer your gefilte fish will be.

100. Crispy Traditional Potato Pancakes
Ever since I visited a tiny French village in the Ardeche where I tasted a "craque," an extraordinary crisp thin potato pancake as large as a plate, I have changed my view of the taste of potato pancakes. For me they should be thin and crisp. This is only possible if you squeeze out as much water as possible from the grated potato, omit flour or matzah meal as fillers, and gently flatten the pancakes on a very hot skillet. Although the taste of hand-grated potato latkes is superior to that of those grated in the food processor, the difference is definitely marginal. So don't feel guilty if you don't want to use elbow grease and cut your fingers.
Serving: Yield: about 2 dozen pancakes (P) Ingredients 2 pounds russet (baking) or Yukon Gold potatoes 1 medium onion 1/2 cup chopped scallions, including the green part 1 large egg, beaten Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste N/A Vegetable oil for frying Eat it!

"Challah is traditionally eaten on the Jewish Sabbath (Shabbos). This is not your average challah recipe. It is a twist on my trusty old water challah recipe (which even water-challah-phobics have loved), and has some of the taste of an everything bagel. It's really something else. Enjoy!

115. Fig Fluden
This is one of those recipes that has pretty much disappeared in the United States, but those who remember it rave about it. A fluden, which comes from fladni or fladen, "flat cake" in German, is just that, a flat, double-or often multilayered flaky pastry filled with poppy seeds, apples and raisins, or cheese. It was originally common to southern Germany and Alsace-Lorraine, later spreading east to Hungary, Romania, and other Eastern European countries. Often flavored with honey, it was eaten in the fall at Rosh Hashanah or Sukkot and is symbolic, like strudel, of an abundant yield. I have tasted apple two-layered fluden at Jewish bakeries and restaurants in Paris, Budapest, Tel Aviv, and Vienna, sometimes made with a butter crust, sometimes with an oil-based one. But only in Paris have I tasted the delicious fig rendition, a French fig bar, from Finkelsztajn's Bakery. (Figs, my father used to tell me, were often eaten in Germany as the new fruit on the second day of Rosh Hashanah.) This recipe is a perfect example of the constant flux of Jewish foods. Today, with the huge population of Tunisian Jews in Paris, it is no wonder that the Finkelsztajn family spike their fig filling with bou'ha, a Jewish Tunisian fig liqueur used for kiddush, the blessing over the wine on the Sabbath. You can, of course, use kirsch or any other fruit liqueur instead.

120. Fried Matzoh
This is a very simple, yet remarkably satisfying dish. Even though it's traditionally a Passover recipe, I liked it so much as a child that I used to ask my mother to make it for me all year long. It's the comfort food that most reminds me of her. (Fried matzoh is what I've called this dish since childhood, though I know that others refer to it as matzoh brei.)

Everything is approximate with brisket and tzimmes, since some people can't stand prunes and others want nothing but. The amounts listed below are estimates; feel free to change them.

137. Hamantaschen
Rae: We wanted to come up with a version of this Purim pastry that was light and crumbly but not dry, and these really fit the bill. At Mile End we make the three classic kinds: apricot, poppy seed, and prune. If you want to make a mixed batch, just make all three fillings, using a third of the amount of each of the filling ingredients called for below. Mile End's baker, Rich Maggi, swears by his tortilla press for flattening the dough, though a rolling pin will also do the trick.

"This is a new spin on a traditional Jewish food. They're very sweet and fun to make, making it a great recipe for kids who want to help out in the kitchen. They also make great finger food for parties. Be sure to remove any jewelry before getting started though - you'll be putting your hands into a very sticky mess, and it can get everywhere! Serve hot with apricot preserves, applesauce, maple syrup, or parmesan cheese. If you have a food processor, that will probably work as well, though I prefer the extra-fine result that comes from using a cheese grater. They can also be frozen and reheated."

147. Heavenly Apple Cake
In my family we always inaugurate the Jewish New Year with our first apple dessert of the fall season. The tradition in Andra's home is to begin the year with a round challah and to end it with a cake topped with concentric circles of sliced apples. This dessert is very similar to Jewish apple cake, a Polish dessert that was very popular in church cookbooks throughout Maryland. I believe it is called Jewish because it is an oil-based rather than a butter-based cake. Andra's version is particularly easy, attractive, and delicious.
Serving: Makes 1 Cake Ingredients 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons wheat germ (optional) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 6 small Rome, Granny Smith, Yellow Delicious, or other low-moisture apples Juice of 1/2 lemon 4 large eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup orange juice 1 teaspoon cinnamon Nutrition Information Calories: 5853 Total Fat: 249 g (383%) Saturated Fat: 22 g (109%) Cholesterol: 744 mg (248%) Sodium: 2561 mg (107%) Total Carbohydrate: 858 g (286%) Protein: 68 g (135%) Fiber: 38 g (152%)

157. Hungarian ChocolateWalnut Torte
This is a taste of prewar Hungary, from the family repertoire of my dear friend, Judy Abrams, gifted teacher and poet. Based on ground walnuts and leavened only with eggs, this light, fudge-luscious cake has not a jot of butter or flour, making it Passover-perfect for meat or dairy meals. To conclude a meat meal, it is delectable plain or dusted fancifully with confectioners' sugar (a Passover recipe without cornstarch below) or glazed with a simple chocolate icing. For a dairy dish, cover the torte in swirls of lightly sweetened whipped cream or serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side, accompanied by a steaming cup of strong cappuccino. Enjoy this beautifully moist and virtually no-fail torte not just on Passover, but year round. When well wrapped (without icing), it keeps very well, tasting even better a day or two after it is made. As with all nut pastries, be sure the walnuts you are using are very fresh-tasting.
Serving: Makes about 10 servings Ingredients 3/4 cup sugar (if using half semisweet and half sweet chocolate) or 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar (if using all semisweet chocolate) 6 ounces fine-quality chocolate, preferably half dark sweet (sometimes labeled German's Sweet Chocolate), and half semisweet, but all semisweet is also delicious; cut into small pieces 6 large eggs, separated 6 ounces shelled walnuts (1 3/4 to 2 cups) 3 tablespoons matzoh meal Optional accompaniments: Passover Confectioners' Sugar (recipe below) or Chocolate Icing (recipe below); heavy cream, freshly whipped to soft drifts and barely or very lightly sweetened; or vanilla ice cream Optional garnish: walnut halves 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter or margarine 6 ounces fine-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces Nutrition Information Calories: 462 Total Fat: 33 g (51%) Saturated Fat: 13 g (65%) Cholesterol: 130 mg (43%) Sodium: 49 mg (2%) Total Carbohydrate: 41 g (14%) Protein: 8 g (16%) Fiber: 3 g (13%)

187. Kreplach
Called Jewish wontons or raviolis, kreplach are pasta dumplings, usually triangular in shape, filled with minced meat, onion-spiced potatoes, or cheese. Kreplach carries a lot of lofty symbolism; its triangular shape represents Judaism's three patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Equally lofty: the Jewish momma who can roll her kreplach dough to optimum thinness (so that, according to Sam Levenson, "a tempting bit of their buried treasure should show through"). If the wrappers are not paper-thin, your kreplach will taste like "craplach." However, though we've included wrappers in this recipe, there's really no reason to knock yourself out making them. Just purchase wonton wrappers in a Chinese food store or supermarket, and making kreplach becomes a cinch. There's even a kosher brand called Nasoya, available in many supermarkets; look for it near the tofu.
Serving: Makes about 30 Ingredients 3 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 3 eggs, beaten 3 tablespoons cold water 1 egg, beaten, for binding kreplach 1 tablespoon salt 2 tablespoons corn oil 3/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/2 pound chopmeat 1 egg yolk 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons corn oil 3/4 cup finely chopped onion 1 teaspoon finely chopped or crushed fresh garlic 1 egg yolk 1 cup cooked, mashed potato 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley 1 tablespoon minced scallions 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 cup farmer cheese 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten Nutrition Information Calories: 100 Total Fat: 3 g (5%) Saturated Fat: 1 g (4%) Cholesterol: 38 mg (13%) Sodium: 116 mg (5%) Total Carbohydrate: 14 g (5%) Protein: 3 g (7%) Fiber: 1 g (2%)

189. Kugel Yerushalmi
(Hasidic Caramelized Noodle Pudding) The Chmielnicki massacres in Poland in 1648, the apostasy of the false messiah Shabbetai Tzvi in 1666, the subsequent partition of Poland, and other problems shook the Jewish communities of eastern Europe. Some Jews found an answer in the freedom offered by the Enlightenment (Haskala in Yiddish). Others turned to Kabbalistic healers and miracle workers. One of these holy men was Israel ben Eliezer, commonly called the Ba'al Shem Tov (Master of the Good Name). By the time of his death in 1760, he had created a full-fledged religious movement known as Hasidism and, within a generation, the bulk of the Jews in central Poland, Galicia, and the Ukraine were Hasidim. Beginning in the late 1700s, groups of Hasidim began moving to the Holy Land in order to live a more fully religious life. They brought with them the traditions of eastern Europe, including their manner of dress and foods. It was among the Hasidim of Jerusalem that this distinctive noodle kugel, which features a tantalizing contrast of pepper and caramelized sugar, was popularized.

190. Lamb Bacon
Noah: We're always looking for alternatives to pork at Mile End, and this dry-cured lamb breast was an amazing meat discovery for me. You can use lamb bacon in pretty much any dish you'd use standard bacon or pancetta for: Italian peasant soups, potato salads, meat braises, pasta dishes, whatever. We finish our lamb bacon in a smoker, though at home I've cooked it in the oven and gotten great results; it just has a milder flavor. You can store the bacon in the fridge for many weeks.
Serving: Makes 1 to 1 1/2 pounds Ingredients 5 tablespoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt 2 teaspoons pink curing salt 3 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar 4 dried bay leaves, crushed 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 1 1/2- to 2-pound boneless lamb breast, with silver skin intact Cherry wood chips, apple wood chips, or other fruit wood chips Nutrition Information Calories: 186 Total Fat: 11 g (17%) Saturated Fat: 5 g (24%) Cholesterol: 53 mg (18%) Sodium: 248 mg (10%) Total Carbohydrate: 6 g (2%) Protein: 14 g (29%) Fiber: 0 g (2%)
191. Latke Reubens
Combining my family’s cherished latke recipe with the fillings from a Reuben sandwich, I created the ultimate Jewish deli delight. What I love about this recipe is that while it’s made up of familiar components, the “mashup” brings them together in a modern, unexpected way, giving them new life. A perfect starter to celebrate the festival of lights, it also makes for a killer Super Bowl party snack (or fun accompaniment to cocktails any time of year), as it combines so many satisfying layers of flavor, easily eaten with one hand while holding a beer in the other and watching the game.
Serving: Makes about 3 dozen Ingredients 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard 1 1/2 teaspoons light or dark brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 1/2 cups shredded green cabbage (about a quarter of a small head) 1 Granny Smith apple, cut into matchsticks 3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (about half small onion) 2 celery ribs, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill 3/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup ketchup 1 tablespoon prepared white horseradish 1 teaspoon hot sauce 3 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and quartered lengthwise 1 large yellow onion, peeled and cut into 8 wedges 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill 1/4 teaspoon baking powder Kosher salt Canola oil for frying 1/2 pound thinly sliced pastrami, slices cut in half crosswise Chopped fresh dill Nutrition Information Calories: 341 Total Fat: 27 g (41%) Saturated Fat: 3 g (16%) Cholesterol: 31 mg (10%) Sodium: 395 mg (16%) Total Carbohydrate: 21 g (7%) Protein: 6 g (11%) Fiber: 2 g (8%)

193. Latkes with Lots of Sauces
Our dad makes these every year on Hanukkah. And he makes a huge mess. He puts newspapers on the floor, uses every burner, and the whole house smells bad for a week.

200. Maamoul Nutfilled Cookies
Have you ever visited the marketplace of Jerusalem and noticed small wooden imprinted molds with handles? To be sure, the merchant is hard put to explain their significance. They are ma'amoul molds. Ma'amoul means "filled" in Arabic, and these molds make filled cookies eaten by Jews and Arabs throughout the Middle East, especially in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. A piece of short-pastry dough the size of a walnut is pressed into the crevices of the ma'amoul mold. A tablespoon of date or nut filling is inserted, and you close the pastry with your fingers. Holding the handle of the wooden mold, you slam it on the table, letting the enclosed dough fall out. On the top of the cookie is a lovely design. After baking and rolling in confectioners' sugar, the design stands out even more. Of course, the ma'amoul mold is not necessary to the preparation of these sweets, though it certainly adds to their beauty. The tines of a fork, tweezers with a serrated edge, or a tool of your own devising will do quite well. The following ma'amoul recipe came from Aleppo to the Syrian Jewish community on Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn. These cookies are served at Purim. A similar cookie, called karabij here (nataife in Syria), topped with marshmallow fluff, is also served at Purim. Arasibajweh—rolled cookies from the same dough and stuffed with dates—are served at the New Year or Hanukkah.
Serving: Makes 35 - 40 cookies Ingredients 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 cup semolina flour 10 ounces (2 1/2 sticks) pareve margarine or 1 pound (2 sticks) butter 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 1/4-1/2 cup water Confectioners' sugar 1 1/2 cups roughly ground walnuts 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 cup sugar 201.

208. Matzo Ball Soup with Cardamom Turmeric and Lime
This is a Passover-friendly version of gondi, the Persian Jewish soup dumpling made from chickpea flour and ground chicken.

214. Matzoh Vegetable Stuffing
Matzoh can take many forms during the eight days of Passover: crushed into meal for baking or coating, topped whole with sauce and cheese for pizza, or fried with eggs for Matzoh brie. All can create Matzoh fatigue, but it can also be transformed into something a bit unexpected; that is, a riff on a holiday favorite 151;stuffing (minus the bread). Studded with meaty, browned mushrooms and translucent bits of celery and fennel, this is a delicious side dish perfect for soaking up gravy, or just as satisfying on its own.

216. Middle Eastern NutFilled Multilayered Pastry Baklava
Baklava (from the Farsi for "many leaves"), a pastry perfected by royal bakers in the sultan's palace in Istanbul, consists of layers of phyllo filled with nuts and spices and drenched in a syrup. It has become a traditional Middle Eastern Rosh Hashannah and Purim treat but is enjoyed at celebrations throughout the year. There are numerous variations of baklava, many a closely guarded secret passed down within families. A walnut filling is more prevalent in the Levant, while pistachios and pistachio-almond fillings are preferred in Iran. Blanched almonds are traditional on Rosh Hashannah to produce a light color so that the year should be dulce y aclarada ("sweet and bright"). Sephardim refrain from serving dark-colored pastries such as those made from walnuts on Rosh Hashannah, which would portend a dark year. Although purists disdain anything except the classic nut filling, some cooks innovated by adding such items as dates and chocolate chips. Hungarians make an apricot version. This very rich treat is usually served in small portions.
Serving: Makes about 36 small diamond-shaped pastries Ingredients 3 cups sugar, or 2 cups sugar and 1 cup honey 1 1/2 cups water 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons light corn syrup (optional) 2 (3-inch) sticks cinnamon (optional) 4 to 6 whole cloves, or 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional) 1 pound blanched almonds, pistachios, walnuts, or any combination, finely chopped or coarsely ground (about 4 cups) 1/4 cup sugar 1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves or cardamom (optional) 1 pound (about 24 sheets) phyllo dough About 1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter or vegetable oil Nutrition Information Calories: 274 Total Fat: 15 g (23%) Saturated Fat: 1 g (7%) Sodium: 62 mg (3%) Total Carbohydrate: 34 g (11%) Protein: 3 g (6%) Fiber: 1 g (5%)
217. Modern Jewish Low Fat Kugel
"This noodle kugel is a sweet casserole that feels like comfort food (especially if you are of Jewish heritage) yet is low fat and lower sugar than the average sweet kugel. I use the low-fat dairy and egg substitute to give it a richer flavor, but it tastes great made with nonfat ingredients as well. Enjoy! I developed it in honor of my beloved Grandma Sylvia."

219. Moist Holiday Honeycake
"Spiced fragrant honey cake is a tradition on Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year, which generally falls in September). Unfortunately, most honey cakes turn out to be dry, brick-like things, inedible except with a hot beverage. Some call honey cake the fruitcake of the Jewish people. BUT NOT THIS ONE! This cake is genuinely moist and yummy. It will serve about 12 guests at a holiday meal, but I promise that your family will chisel away at it until it's gone before the morning comes."

MOROCCAN COOKS USUALLY MAKE this tasty salad with Swiss chard, but I have seen it also with beet leaves. Eaten all year round, it is prepared by Moroccans on Rosh Hashanah for their Sephardic Seder, when they say a series of blessings over squash, leeks, dates, pomegranates, black-eyed peas, apples, the head of a fish or a lamb, and Swiss chard and beet greens.

233. Nach Waxmans Brisket of Beef
This is the go-to recipe for knowledgeable brisket lovers. Who then share it with others. Who share it with— perhaps—the Obamas and other notable families.

261. Passover Lemon Sponge Cake
"This cake is great for Passover because it uses matzah meal flour instead of regular white flour. It also includes neither butter nor leavening agents. If you cannot find potato flour or matzah meal flour, all-purpose flour will work just fine. However, it wouldn't be kosher. A good sponge cake needs a great deal of air beaten into the eggs. "

263. Passover Mushroom Dressing
"Southern dressing for Pesach made with matzo meal. Recipe can be tweaked to suit your taste. My family likes browned dressing with lots of pepper, but you can cook for less time at a lower temp to get dressing that is more moist with no 'crunch'.

270. Passover Sweet Kugel
"I usually don't like Passover kugels and my family only likes sweet kugels...this one fit the bill! If you don't have farfel, it's really just tidbit-size pieces of matzah. I leave out the nuts, but every Passover recipe seems to have them, it's your choice!"

272. Patatine e Carciofi Arrosto roasted Potatoes and Artichokes
Asparagus or peas may be added to this recipe. Gremolata—a mixture of lemon zest, garlic, and parsley typically sprinkled over osso buco (braised veal shank)—is not traditionally used in Italian Jewish vegetable dishes, but it gives this one lightness and sparkle.
Serving: Serves 6 Ingredients 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh lemon zest 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley or basil leaves 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 pounds red potatoes (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter) 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil freshly ground black pepper 3 unpeeled garlic cloves 2 fresh rosemary sprigs 2 fresh thyme sprigs 6 large artichokes (about 4 pounds), trimmed Italian style 1 to 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth or water 1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves Nutrition Information Calories: 297 Total Fat: 14 g (22%) Saturated Fat: 2 g (10%) Sodium: 154 mg (6%) Total Carbohydrate: 40 g (13%) Protein: 8 g (15%) Fiber: 10 g (41%)

275. Penguin Buffets Classic Israeli Schnitzel
Almost every restaurant in Israel features turkey schnitzel on the menu. Most homemakers buy it breaded and frozen and serve it preceded by hummus, tahina, and other salads for a quick main meal. As I went from table to table throughout Israel, I found the dish to be more or less the same, prepared with spice combinations that vary depending on the ethnic background of the cook. Yemenite Jews, for example, add garlic, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, and hawayij. Polish cooks often use matzoh meal. A classic schnitzel includes both butter and oil, which has been changed to just oil in Israel. Even in remote corners of Latin America, restaurants try to woo Israeli travelers by putting up signs in Hebrew saying WE HAVE SCHNITZEL._
Serving: Yield: 6 servings Ingredients 6 boneless, skinless turkey or chicken breasts, sliced thin (about 1 1/2 pounds) Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1 cup all-purpose flour 3 large eggs 2 cups fresh bread crumbs Vegetable or soybean oil for deep frying 2 lemons, sliced in wedges 276. Pickling Your Own Herring
The trick to pickling today is to find fresh herring or fresh salted herring. Once you've pickled it, use the herring in any favorite recipe, or just mix it as I do, with sour cream, red onion, and dill, to break the fast of Yom Kippur. It will keep for weeks.

283. Potato Latkes
Every family has its own (ahem, best) version of these savory potato pancakes. We’re offering you a classic formula, though not everyone drains the potato mixture before frying—we find this prevents the latkes from absorbing too much oil and allows them to crisp into golden disks. Maybe this will become the new family favorite.

288. PotatoParmesan Pancakes with Creamed Spinach Dip
These tasty treats were inspired by steakhouse flavors. For those who observe the kosher prohibition against serving meat and dairy together, they're delicious on their own. If you don't keep kosher, try them alongside grilled and roasted poultry and meat.

(Mele Cotogne in Giulebbe) Poached quinces in a clove-and-cinnamon-scented syrup are served at Rosh Hashanah and to break the fast at Yom Kippur. In this version, the quinces are left unpeeled for the preliminary cooking in water, and then peeled and cooked in syrup. In La cucina livornese, Pia Bedarida recommends peeling the quinces, letting them rest to take on a reddish brown color as they oxidize, and then cooking them in syrup. Other cooks peel the quinces and cook them immediately, but suggest saving the peels and seeds and cooking them along with the sliced quinces. Still another recipe uses wine instead of water.

298. Roast Veal Brisket with MarsalaMushroom Sauce
This hearty winter entrée can be prepared several days ahead. Veal brisket is the boned veal breast. If you don't have a roasting pan large enough to hold both briskets, divide the ingredients in half and bake in two pans. If the veal is difficult to find, substitute one 5-pound flat-cut beef brisket and roast until tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Leftovers freeze well and make great sandwiches.

300. Rosh Hashanah Pilaf with Beets Chard and Beef from Iraqi Kurdistan
"This is a Jewish recipe for New Year's, Rosh Hashanah, from Iraqi Kurdistan. The sweet beets contrast with the earthy chard, salty beef, and sour lemon for a wonderfully complex taste in every bite.

304. Saffron Rice Pilaf Riz au Safran
THIS SABBATH RICE DISH, typical of Provence, reveals the history both of pilau or pilaf, as it is called in French, and of Persian Jews who settled in the area near the Camargue, the rice-growing area of southwestern Provence located on the triangle of land between the two major tributaries of the Rhône River. Jews, first by barge and later by boat, used the river to bring goods here from the Mediterranean.

306. Salmon Gefilte Fish Mold with Horseradish and Beet Sauce
For centuries, Jewish women schlepped to the fish market, choosing the best fish “by the look in its eyes” before transforming it into the quintessential Sabbath gefilte fish. Using a wooden bowl and a half-moon-shaped chopper, they cut up the fish with onions, crying a little, chopping a little, until the mix was just the right consistency, later to be shaped into ovals or balls and poached in fish broth. Today, cooks often turn to commercially prepared frozen loaves of ground fish, sometimes even spiked with jalapeños or almonds and raisins. These new, more American flavors are rapidly replacing the more distinctively fishy blends made from carp, whitefish, and pike, and have a smooth texture that indicates they have never felt the blade of a hand chopper. Although gefilte innovation like the first jarred fish and the frozen loaves are taking over now, I still, as with many things, prefer the taste of homemade that I make twice a year for Passover and Rosh Hashanah. Before Passover, at what we call a “gefilte-in,” friends assemble in my kitchen with their own pots, fish, carrots, eggs, and matzo meal to make these old-fashioned fish patties. For Rosh Hashanah, I make a light, circular fish terrine that looks beautiful and has the components of gefilte fish, but is much easier to make, baked in a Bundt or tube pan in a bain-marie. This is also a great make-ahead recipe, as it requires several hours of refrigeration before serving. Turned out onto a platter and featured as one of many foods at a buffet, it is always a big success. Even those who swear they would never eat gefilte fish come back for seconds, provided you serve horseradish sauce with it.
Serving: 15–20 slices Ingredients 2 pounds (907 grams) salmon fillets 1 pound (453 grams) cod, flounder, rockfish, or whitefish 3 medium red onions, peeled and diced (about 2 pounds/907 grams) 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil 4 large eggs 4 tablespoons matzo meal 2 large carrots, peeled and grated 4 tablespoons snipped fresh dill, plus more for garnish 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste 2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons sugar Parsley, for garnish Horseradish and Beet Sauce Nutrition Information Calories: 198 Total Fat: 11 g (16%) Saturated Fat: 2 g (11%) Cholesterol: 82 mg (27%) Sodium: 359 mg (15%) Total Carbohydrate: 8 g (3%) Protein: 17 g (35%) Fiber: 1 g (5%)

312. Sephardic Fruit Paste Candies Dulce de Fruta
Sephardim enjoy these confections on special occasions, especially Rosh Hashannah and Passover. Almost any fruit can be used in this process, but hard fruits require cooking and dried ones soaking. Although fruit is naturally sweet, the sugar in this recipe contributes additional sweetness and also intensifies the flavors, contributes body (so that the paste can be cut into shapes), and acts as a preservative.

315. Shakshuka a la Doktor Shakshuka
In 1930, Simon Agranat, the chief justice of the Israeli Supreme Court, wrote to his aunt and uncle in Chicago: "I had my eighth successive egg meal during my three-day journey through the Emek (the valley)." Eggs have always been a main protein for the people in Israel. When I lived in Jerusalem, I would make for my breakfast—or even for dinner—scrambled eggs with sauteed spring onions, fresh herbs, and dollops of cream cheese melted into the eggs as they were cooking. Probably the most popular egg dish in Israel is shakshuka, one of those onomatopoeic Hebrew and North African words, meaning "all mixed up." The most famous rendition of this tomato dish, which is sometimes mixed with meat but more often made in Israel with scrambled or poached eggs, is served at the Tripolitana Doktor Shakshuka Restaurant in Old Jaffa. Doktor Shakshuka, owned by a large Libyan family, is located near the antique market in an old stone-arched building with colorful Arab-tiled floors. "When I was a young girl at the age of ten I liked to cook," said Sarah Gambsor, the main cook of the restaurant and wife of one of the owners. "My mother told me that I should marry someone who has a restaurant." And she did just that. Mrs. Gambsor, a large woman who clearly enjoys eating what she cooks, demonstrated that the dish starts with a heavy frying pan and tomato sauce. Then eggs are carefully broken in and left to set or, if the diner prefers, scrambled in as they cook. The shakshuka is then served in the frying pan at the table.
Serving: 6 servings Ingredients 2 pounds fresh tomatoes, unpeeled and cut in quarters, or one 28-ounce can tomatoes 6 cloves garlic, roughly diced 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste 1 teaspoon sweet paprika 2 teaspoons tomato paste 1/4 cup vegetable oil 6 large eggs Nutrition Information Calories: 185 Total Fat: 15 g (22%) Saturated Fat: 2 g (11%) Cholesterol: 186 mg (62%) Sodium: 501 mg (21%) Total Carbohydrate: 7 g (2%) Protein: 8 g (16%) Fiber: 3 g (13%)

321. Sort of Sephardic Sweet Potatoes and Squash
Sephardic Jews from Turkey, Greece, Morocco, and other countries of the Mediterranean region say seven special blessings over seven different symbolic foods at their Rosh Hashanah dinner. Five of these blessings are over vegetables — apples (candied or dipped in sugar or honey), leeks, beet greens or spinach, dates, and zucchini or squash. These blessings symbolize their hopes for the New Year. Many of these Jews trace their ancestors back to Spain, which is called Sepharad in the Bible. Over the centuries, the Sephardic Jews took advantage of the abundance of vegetables available in the Mediterranean countries, often throughout the year. Among these vegetables are sweet potatoes and squash, great favorites of my family. The special blessing you can say over your sweet potatoes and squash at the beginning of your Rosh Hashanah dinner goes like this: Yehi ratzon mi-le-faneha Adonai Eloheinu ve-lo-hei avoteinu she-tik-rah ro-a gezar dinenu ve-yi-karehu lefa- neha za-hee-yo-teinu. May it be thy will, Lord our God and God of our fathers, that you should tear up any evil decree and let only our merits be read before You.

337. Syrian Pumpkin Patties
Kibbet Yatkeen These flavorful patties, which contain no eggs, are denser and more healthful than typical Western pancakes. In Syria, bulgur supplies the body in these patties, but in America some cooks discovered that oats make a suitable substitute. Of course, traditionalists insist on bulgur. Syrians tend to prefer their pumpkin pancakes savory and somewhat spicy, while Sephardim from Turkey and Greece generally like them slightly sweet. These might be served at a Syrian Hanukkah meal alongside bazargan (Syrian bulgur relish), yerba (stuffed grape leaves), spinach salad, and rice with pine nuts.
Serving: Makes about 12 patties Ingredients 1 cup fine bulgur 2 cups warm water 2 cups mashed cooked pumpkin (about 2 1/2 pounds raw) or 16 ounces pure-pack canned pumpkin 1 cup whole-wheat or unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cold water 1 onion, chopped 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced About 1/2 teaspoon table salt or 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin Pinch of Aleppo or cayenne pepper Vegetable oil for frying Nutrition Information Calories: 236 Total Fat: 14 g (21%) Saturated Fat: 1 g (5%) Sodium: 102 mg (4%) Total Carbohydrate: 26 g (9%) Protein: 4 g (8%) Fiber: 4 g (15%)

341. The Amazing LowFat Chopped Liver
My Grammie Ethel was best known for her cookies and fudge. But she also made a mean chopped liver. What was remarkable about Grammie Ethel's chopped liver was how mild, light and fluffy it was—it didn't taste too much like liver. (This is important when you're eight years old and a finicky eater.) Her secret was the high proportion of hard-boiled egg whites to liver. And the hand-cranked metal meat grinder my grandmother used her whole life to grind the ingredients into a chunky purée. Low-fat chopped liver might seem like an oxymoron. After all, liver is one of the fattiest and most cholesterol-laden substances known to man. By replacing most of the liver with mushrooms (keeping just enough liver for flavor) and by roasting the ingredients in a hot oven instead of sautéeing them, we create a chopped liver that explodes with flavor and is mercifully light on fat. I'm sure my grandmother would have approved. Note: To be in strict accordance with the kashrut, you would boil, not roast, the chicken liver. (This is considered a more effective way to remove the blood.) Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serving: Makes 1 1/2 cups, serves 6 to 8 Ingredients 8 ounces mushrooms 1 medium onion, quartered 1 teaspoon canola or olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 2 ounces chicken or turkey liver 5 eggs 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus sprigs for garnish 342.

343. The BLABagel with Lox and Avocado
The idea for this sandwich came to me when my mother and I were about to have bagels and lox for brunch. I wanted a more nutritious spread than cream cheese, and I happened to have on hand a ripe avocado, which is rich in beneficial monosaturated fat and organic minerals. Mashed with a bit of lemon juice, it turned out to be the perfect choice. Its mild, delicate flavor provides the ideal balance for the salty lox, and its smooth creamy texture resembles that of cream cheese. Use whatever bagel you like. A whole-grain one has the best nutrition, but the sandwich will taste better if the bagel is not sweet; often whole-grain bagels also contain honey. The lox-and-avocado combination is also good in a whole wheat pita. Whether you're serving it to break the fast or for brunch, the sandwich is good accompanied by a green salad and a few high-quality olives.
Serving: Makes 2 servings Ingredients 1 small ripe avocado, preferably Hass (see Note) 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 bagels 2 slices or 4 thin strips of lox, or smoked salmon 2 thin slices of red onion 4 thin slices of tomato 1 teaspoon capers, rinsed (optional) Nutrition Information Calories: 427 Total Fat: 14 g (21%) Saturated Fat: 2 g (11%) Cholesterol: 7 mg (2%) Sodium: 616 mg (26%) Total Carbohydrate: 61 g (20%) Protein: 18 g (35%) Fiber: 7 g (29%)

345. Tropical Charoset
Charoset, a traditional Passover condiment, represents the mortar used by Israelite slaves in Egypt. In this contemporary Mexican version, bananas and other fruit are puréed and cooked down to a sweet spread. "Some people say that the banana was the original 'apple' of the Garden of Eden," says Mexican-Jewish food writer Lila Louli, who collaborated with chef Roberto Santibañez on his Passover recipes. "It's also a very common ingredient in Mexican cooking."
Serving: Makes 5 to 6 cups Ingredients 1 pear, peeled, cored, and chopped 3 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped 3 bananas, peeled and mashed 2 cups pitted dates (about 1 lb) 2 cups sliced or slivered almonds (about 8 oz) 2 tablespoons ground canela (see Tips, below) 1 cup sweet red wine, such as Manischewitz Extra Heavy Malaga, plus additional if needed Matzoh or corn tortillas 346.

"If this dish asks you, 'What am I, chopped liver?!' you can say, 'Yes!'. I'm particular about using Hungarian paprika, faithful to my roots! You can use a food processor to 'mash' the livers, but the result is too refined for my taste, too much like a pate; traditional chopped liver is lumpy! If you're willing to do the mixing with your hands, you'll get the best results. NOTE: Under NO circumstances should you add beef or any other kind of liver or filler; this will spoil the flavor. Enjoy!"
Serving: 8 Ingredients 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional) 1 large white onion, chopped 2 pounds fresh chicken livers 6 hard-cooked eggs 1 small white onion, finely chopped 1 bunch green onions, chopped salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons paprika 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided 1 head romaine lettuce 2 sprigs fresh parsley Nutrition Information Calories: 258 calories Total Fat: 14.1 g Cholesterol: 573 mg Sodium: 116 mg Total Carbohydrate: 8.5 g Protein: 24.4 g

361. WineBraised Brisket With Butternut Squash
Brisket really gets Jews talking. The mere mention of the word brings up stories of holidays past, aunts who can’t cook, aunts who can cook, grandmas force-feeding grandkids, etc. While beef was often very expensive in the old country, brisket became a symbol of plenty in North America, where it was more affordable but no less special. This brisket is braised for hours, just as many Jewish briskets are, but we incorporate white wine instead of the more typical red, and butternut squash instead of potatoes. This makes for a lighter, brighter brisket, if such a thing exists, so it’s a better fit for holiday meals served during the warmer months. Note that the second cut brisket we recommend for this recipe will not slice as thinly as the first cut. It’s softer and fattier. This doesn’t bother us. The meat will be so tender you could cut it with a spoon—who needs a thin slice? Also note that if you’d like to make this a more wintry brisket, you can swap the squash for potatoes and/or turnips and put the veggies in an hour earlier than the recipe calls for. Jeffrey prefers it that way, and once again, we agree to disagree.
Serving: Serves 6–8 Ingredients 1 1/2 cups canned diced tomatoes 4 cups beef, chicken, or vegetable broth, store-bought or homemade 1 (750-mL) bottle white wine (Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, etc.) 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 1/2 pounds second cut brisket (also called deckle) 1 large onion, sliced Handful of fresh thyme sprigs 1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped into large chunks Chopped fresh herbs, for serving Nutrition Information Calories: 721 Total Fat: 45 g (69%) Saturated Fat: 17 g (86%) Cholesterol: 178 mg (59%) Sodium: 1155 mg (48%) Total Carbohydrate: 22 g (7%) Protein: 36 g (72%) Fiber: 4 g (18%)

363. Yemenite High Holy Day Soup
My mother-in-law remembers the kapparah tradition in Poland. Early in the morning of the day prior to Yom Kippur, a fowl was whirled about her head, while she thought about turning over a new leaf. Her father would whirl a rooster, her mother a hen, and her brothers and sisters a pullet or a cockerel. The ceremony was repeated for each child. She was always frightened by the fluttering feathers. After the whirling, her mother would race to the shohet and have the fowls ritually slaughtered to make food for the meal before the fast. All the fowls would be cooked, and any extras given to bachelor relatives or to the poor. Chicken soup would be made for the kreplakh and the boiled chicken eaten as a mild main dish. Yemenite Jews also eat chicken before the fast of Yom Kippur, but much earlier in the morning, at about 10:30. Their soup is dipped with the kubbanah bread. Note: Making a children's version of hawayij is a great introduction to Middle Eastern spices. Take the children to a spice store where they can pick out the spices themselves. Hawayij is basically a combination of cumin, coriander (omit if using fresh), curry powder, ginger, black pepper, and turmeric. Add spices according to your children's tolerance for strong and unusual flavors. You can omit them altogether if you wish.
