Chapter One

Appetizers

Avocado-Egg Salad (P)

A great dish for Yom Kippur break-fast, Sukkot or Shavuot.

Makes 6 to 8 as an appetizer or salad

4 eggs, hard boiled and peeled 2 to 3 ripe avocados 1/2 medium sweet onion, like Texas sweets, Walla-Walla, or Vidalia, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves Lettuce leaves for serving 1 large tomato, chopped for garnish

Mash the eggs.

Peel and mash the avocados. Add the onion, cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mash together well.

Combine the avocado mixture with the eggs.

Place the lettuce leaves on a platter and top with the avocado-egg salad. Garnish with the tomatoes and serve.

Can also use as a spread for hors d'oeuvre with pita crisps.

Labaneh with Olives and Herbs (D)

A wonderful dish for Shavuot. Its Israeli origins show through with the use of thyme and labaneh (yogurt cheese).

Makes 3 cups

1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram leaves 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves 1/4 teaspoon cardamom 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon sesame seeds 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 4 cups plain whole milk yogurt Israeli green cracked olives Pita chips or crackers

Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set over a large bowl, do not let strainer touch the bottom of the bowl. Pour the yogurt into the strainer and fold the excess cheesecloth over the yogurt. Refrigerate overnight.

Remove the labaneh (yogurt cheese) to a large bowl and mix with the salt, marjoram, thyme, cardamom, cayenne pepper and cumin. Place cheese in a 6 inch round mold and refrigerate for half an hour.

Unmold the labaneh onto a platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and olive oil. Surround with the olives and pita chips or crackers and serve.

Fried, Stuffed Spanish Olives (D)

Great for Chanukah or Shavuot.

These make a great hors d'oeuvres. The recipe is easily doubled or tripled and can easily be made ahead.

Makes 6 servings

1 ounce Maytag blue cheese 24 pitted Spanish olives, drained and dried Vegetable oil for frying Flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 large egg, well beaten 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Divide the cheese into 24 pieces and stuff the cheese into the olives.

Mix the flour with the salt and pepper.

Mix the bread crumbs with the dried thyme

Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a 6 quart saut pan to 350 degrees C.

Dredge the olives in the flour, dip in the egg and roll in the breadcrumbs making sure they are evenly coated.

Fry the olives in the oil for about 30 seconds, until golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.

Keep warm in a 200 degree oven. When all the olives are ready, place on a serving platter and serve warm

Pistachio-Cheddar Spread (D)

Wonderful for Yom Kippur break-fast, Shavuot or anytime you want a tasty hors d'oeuvre or snack.

Serves about 12 as an hors d'oeuvres

1 - 8 ounce bar cream cheese 1/4 cup milk 4 cups grated cheddar cheese, divided 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper 1 clove garlic, pressed 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 cup chopped, shelled pistachio nuts 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 4 stalks celery, cut into 3" sticks Crackers

In a food processor, mix the cream cheese, milk, 2 cups of the cheddar cheese, onion, bell pepper, garlic, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, pulsing 5 or 6 times, until well mixed. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.

To the cream cheese mixture add the remaining 2 cups of cheddar cheese and the pistachio nuts. Mix until well combined.

Place mixture in a plastic wrap lined mold or bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

When cheese mixture is firm, remove from the mold and place on a serving platter. Surround with crackers and celery sticks and serve chilled.

Savory Cheesecake with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Herbs (D)

I made this for a Yom Kippur break-fast class and everyone loved it so much that they all served it at their break-fasts.

Makes a wonderful main course when served with a salad or a fantastic appetizer.

Makes at least 12 servings

For the tomatoes: 1 1/2 cups packed fresh basil leaves 6 ounces sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained with 2 tablespoons of the oil reserved 1 garlic clove, minced 1/3 cup Parmegiano cheese 1/4 cup pecans

Basil leaves for garnish Smoked salmon strips made into curls for garnish

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9" x 2" cake pan and line with parchment paper.

Prepare the sun-dried tomato mixture: Placethebasil,sun-driedtomatoesandtheirreservedoil,garlic,Parmegiano, and pecans in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is well blended and almost smooth. Set aside.

Prepare the cheese cake: Place the cream cheese, sour cream, thyme, salt, pepper, eggs, and flour in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth.

Butter the top of the parchment in the prepared cake pan and sprinkle the pecans over the buttered parchment, pressing them into the butter.

Pour half the cheese cake mixture over the pecans. Spoon the sun-dried tomato mixture evenly over the cheese cake mixture. Carefully spread the remainder of the cheese cake mixture over the sun-dried tomato mixture.

Bake the cheesecake in the center of the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes.

Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan on a rack and refrigerate, covered loosely for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. (Will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days.)

To serve, run a knife around the side of the pan to loosen the cake and invert onto a serving platter, nut side up. Garnish with basil leave and smoked salmon curls and serve.

Spiced Chickpeas (P)

Wonderful as a snack or hors d'oeuvres any time of the year.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

2 - 15 ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups vegetable stock 1 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cardamom 1 cinnamon stick 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Add the chickpeas, vegetable stock, cumin, thyme, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon stick, pepper, and salt. Lower the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.

Allow the chickpeas to come to room temperature, drain, and season with the lemon juice and additional salt and pepper if needed.

Place in a bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.

Spiced Pecans (P)

Great for a snack, part of dessert or with drinks. This versatile treat can be enjoyed year round.

In another large bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, Cajun spice, cayenne, nutmeg and ginger together until well blended.

Toss the pecans in the egg whites until well coated. Pour the pecans into the spice mixture and toss until well coated.

Place the pecans on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes to make sure they bake evenly.

Lemon slices for garnish Dill sprigs for garnish

Coat a 9 inch spring-form pan with vegetable oil, line the bottom with parchment paper and apply an additional coating of oil.

Remove the salmon gefilte fish from the wrapper. Place in a bowl and mix with the dill.

Remove the wrapper from one loaf of the plain gefilte fish. Place in a bowl and mix well with the spinach, salt and pepper.

Remove the wrapper from the second loaf of plain gefilte fish. Using a spatula, spread this loaf evenly over the bottom of the pan. Top the plain gefilte fish with the salmon mixture and spread that evenly. Top the salmon gefilte fish with the spinach-gefilte fish mixture and making sure to spread it evenly. Smooth the top and cover the fish with aluminum foil.

Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour or until the fish is set in the center.

Take the gefilte fish out of the oven, remove the foil and allow to cool.

Veal Riblets Chinese Style (M)

This dish is a wonderful appetizer. I used spices to emulate those found in Chinese spareribs. The result is a wonderful dish that is sure to please your family and friends.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

1 - 2 inch piece ginger root, grated 3 cloves garlic minced 1 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice powder (see note) 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup dry sherry 2 scallions, sliced 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup ground white pepper 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring 5 pounds veal riblets

Mix all the ingredients together except the riblets.

Place the riblets in a 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Pour the soy-spice mixture over the riblets, cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight, turning once.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Drain the marinade from the riblets and pour into a saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for 10 minutes until thickened.

Line a rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil and arrange the riblets on it in a single layer. Brush with the marinade, place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the riblets, brush with the marinade and return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes.

At this point you can proceed or refrigerate the riblets until ready to grill.

Grill the riblets over medium to medium/high heat, basting often with the marinade until they are a deep golden brown.

Skin and bone the whitefish and place the meat in a medium bowl.

While the squash is roasting, saute the onion and ginger in margarine in a stock pot over medium heat until the onion is soft, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the mashed squash, honey, salt and pepper and cook another 15 to 20 minutes until the flavors come together.
