Fun With Kosher Recipes
Keeping kosher with recipes for Passover and other kosher food recipes is a great way to stay connected to your Jewish heritage while instilling religious values in your children. But if you’re looking to feel even closer to the old country, chances are it’s going to involve some Yiddish. Read on for some classic Yiddish words and phrases relating to food, including words that have become common among English speakers.
Bagel: Originating in Krakow, Poland, the bagel first appeared to compete with the bublik – a denser, drier ring of dough. It became tradition for observant Jews to bake bagels after the Sabbath on Saturday evenings, as bagels take less time to make than most other bread products.
Blintz: Crepe-like pastries with sweet filling, usually cheese. Unlike crepes, blintz pancakes are made with yeast. Blintzes are often served during Chanukah and Shavuot.
Challa: Bread common on Shabbat dinners, although forbidden in Passover recipes.
Fire-Cooked Ingredients
Pasta dishes are remarkably popular and versatile, but it seems like pasta as traditionally prepared can sometimes be bland. Pasta with grilled or fire-cooked meat or vegetables is a wonderful treat. One of the best ways to enhance your pasta dishes is to cook some of the ingredients over a fire pit. So instead of going with everyday pasta dishes, try adding some kick with some fire-cooked ingredients. Here are some ideas for you to use:
Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Zucchini
Cut the zucchini into chunks and place in a square of aluminum foil. Feel free to season the zucchini as desired, with salt or garlic. Add olive oil or butter and wrap the zucchini up in the foil. Place the foil package in the fire pit with hot coals and cook for about half an hour. Toss the zucchini in with your fettuccine alfredo pasta.
