Chocolate Almond Flourless Torte [Passover]
Contributed by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. With so many people going gluten-free, here is an end of dinner party clincher that can please folks with that dietary concern. Frankly, anyone who loves a dense decadent chocolate cake will consider it fantastic. It can be served all-year-long for a rich delicious adult dessert. It’s not my most popular cake with children; unless they are dark chocoholics. … Continue reading Chocolate Almond Flourless Torte [Passover]
Tri-color Gefilte Fish
Contributed by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. This elegant fish dish can be served any time of the year. It is a special first course, following the conclusion of a Passover Seder; at the beginning of the actual meal; either before or after the matzo ball soup depending on how ready things are in the kitchen. The traditional accompaniment is a fresh beet-horseradish relish called Chrain … Continue reading Tri-color Gefilte Fish
Fresh Horseradish Beet Relish aka Chrain
Contributed by Rachael, Ancesister @ Ancestreats. I can’t imagine eating a fish course without this condiment: a traditional accompaniment of beet-horseradish relish called Chrain (Yiddish: חריין, khreyn). Lots of general supermarkets carry this pre-made item in the section near the refrigerated hot dogs and pickles. However, if you were to get stuck somewhere, like I did in Albuquerque, unable to find it in stock … Continue reading Fresh Horseradish Beet Relish aka Chrain
Less is More Stifado (Greek beef & onions stew)
Submitted by Relly. This Greek stew has few ingredients, and is yet so rich in flavors. Since back in the days beef was an expensive product, my grandmother would make this dish for the high holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Passover night. My family and I continue this tradition and have this dish for holiday dinners. My grandmother would go to the market and dig for the … Continue reading Less is More Stifado (Greek beef & onions stew)
Gone in a Flash Matzah ‘Crack’
Submitted by Amanda C.B. This is based on a David Lebovitz’s recipe. He is a published chef who lives in Paris and blogs at davidlebovitz.com. He calls it Crunch. I call it Crack. Once you start eating it you can’t stop. I’ve been making this treat for years now, with lots of topping combinations. I always make it for Passover and Chanukah. Once I even made some for my … Continue reading Gone in a Flash Matzah ‘Crack’
End the Strike Passover Granola
Submitted by Rachael, Ancesister at Ancestreats. This recipe is a riff of the Chow.com recipe, “Matzo Granola with Apricots and Pistachios.” I turned to it during my family’s Pesach Breakfast Revolt of 2012. In observance of Passover, my children were not allowed their morning standby of multigrain Cheerios so they went on a food strike. They cursed my plated Matzo-brie (fried matzo) and refused a healthy … Continue reading End the Strike Passover Granola
Tub-to-Table Gefilte Fish
Submitted by Jane Morgenstern. This is my husbands’s grandmother’s recipe, passed down to her daughter, my mother-in-law. His grandmother would always make her own fresh gefilte fish, and by fresh, we mean fresh, as the carp was swimming in the bathtub. We have done away with that step, and purchased our fish already ground from the market, however the rest of the recipe is the same … Continue reading Tub-to-Table Gefilte Fish
