How to Cook dishes from Jewish tradition
Jews have lived in many countries, including the Middle East, the Americas,
Europe
and elsewhere. Wherever Jews have lived, they have always eaten local
foods, selecting ingredients and creating dishes to comply with the
requirements of "halakha" (the body
of interpretation of Jewish religious law) - "kosher" means
foods (and food preparation practises) that are in keeping with Jewish
dietary laws.
Perhaps best-known in North America are those Jewish dishes which
originated in, and were influenced by,
eastern European cuisine, but every Jewish community - Ashkenazic,
Sephardic, Yemenite, Italian and others - has met the requirements of
Judaism in its own way and with its own cuisine.
Some popular Jewish recipes and dishes include:
- Baba ghanoush - Mashed eggplant with various seasonings.
In Israel,
it is made from mashed grilled eggplant with tahini or
mayonnaise.
- Blintz - Thin pancakes stuffed with a cheese filling, and then fried
in oil. They are eaten on Jewish holidays such as
Hanukkah and Shavuot.
- Borscht - Vegetable soup made from beetroot.
- Chicken soup.
- Falafel - A fried ball made from chickpeas or fava beans.
- Gefilte fish - Poached fish patties, usually made from carp.
- Israeli salad - Finely diced tomatoes and cucumbers, dressed with
olive oil and lemon juice.
- Kibbeh - A shell made from bulgar wheat, stuffed with ground lamb and fried.
- Kugel - A baked dish made from egg noodles or potatoes and eggs.
- Knish - Baked or fried dough stuffed with
cheese,
ground meat,
mashed potato,
onions,
or sauerkraut.
- Kreplach - Small stuffed dumplings.
They are typically stuffed with ground meat or mashed potato,
cooked by boiling, and served with chicken soup.
- Jachnun - A traditional dish of Yemenite Jews. It is rolled dough baked on a low
heat for many hours, which is eaten with hard-boiled eggs, tomato dip, and skhug (a hot sauce
made from peppers and spices).
- Latkes - Potato pancakes.
- Lox - A cured
salmon fillet.
- Matzah ball - Balls made from ground matzah (a Jewish flatbread),
and chicken fat (schmaltz). The balls are often eaten in chicken broth as
matzah ball soup.
- Pastrami - Raw beef, salted, dried and seasoned with various herbs and spices.
- Shlishkes - Dumplings made from mashed potato, egg, flour and water. The dumplings
are cooked by boiling and then rolled in sugar and hot buttered caramelized breadcrumbs.
- Tzimmes - Diced carrots with dried fruits (prunes or raisins) and chunks of meat.
The dish is cooked slowly and flavored with cinnamon and honey.
- Vareniki - Dumplings stuffed with cabbage, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, mashed potatoes,
meat or sauerkraut.
- Vorschmack - A salty meat dish made from ground meat,
anchovies or
herring, and onions.
It is usually garnished with salty pickles.
