The holidays are fast approaching, so you are likely searching for delicious kosher recipes that can be served on the Sabbath or during holiday celebrations. Perhaps you want to experiment with new tastes, or maybe you are looking for new spins on your old favorites. Whatever the case, there are plenty of wonderful kosher recipes that will delight your palate.
Spinach Noodle Kugel
Giora Shimoni, About.com's kosher food guide, recommends Spinach Noodle Kugel, which combines familiar ingredients with the slightly briny taste of spinach. To make this dish, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
Combine 16 ounces of cooked fine noodles with 16 ounces of fresh, chopped spinach. Chop two onions, then sauté them in oil in a skillet and add them to the noodles and spinach in your pan. Mix everything with six beaten eggs, a half-cup of oil and 1.5 teaspoons of salt. Let it bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, then serve hot.
If you prefer, you can replace the spinach in this recipe with other favorite fresh vegetables, such as broccoli. Just make sure that you chop whatever vegetable you use and make sure it is as fine as possible.
Hummus
This is a family favorite for many Jews who keep kosher. It can make a lovely appetizer when entertaining guests or enjoying a pre-dinner snack with the family. Typically, hummus is served with pita wedges and is made with completely fresh ingredients.
The easiest way to make hummus is to combine about 20 ounces of chickpeas with two-thirds of a cup of tahini, two juiced lemons, four garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley and 1 teaspoon of salt in a food processor. Blend the concoction until it is smooth, then add a fine drizzle of olive oil and perhaps a sprinkling of paprika.
Some people add different ingredients to hummus, from pine nuts to black pepper to cumin. You can try different kosher recipes to see which ones you like the most, then make your own special version of hummus.
There are plenty of other kosher recipes that are perfect for the holidays. Kosher soup, brisket, stuffed turkey and mashed potatoes are all excellent choices, and you can use kosher wine to enliven many kosher recipes for a festive holiday touch. And for dessert, you might want to serve Enstrom's almond toffee squares.
