Question

im looking for a type of jewish food that is specific to special occasions. i want to try and make it myself if possible. if you know of something but cant find a recipe, can you just tell me what its called? it would really help me out

thanks!

Answer 1

very easy to make are hot dogs in jackets, go to the frozen food section of your super market and buy a box of them. Or just peruse the kosher section of the freezer section and pick something out maybe little knishes or some latkes.

Enjoy

Answer 2

If it's for a special occasion then Mosto ball soup.

Besides that, Moroccan fish is the best, couscous is also good, and hamin(or cholent for Ashkenazis).

Different Jews cook these meals differently, I personally think Moroccans are the best cooks so I highly recommend that you get a Moroccan to cook these things for you or to at least give you the recipe.

Btw are you cooking for your gf? that's soooo sweat, for some reason I see you burning the food lol.

Nah just kidding have fun :)

Answer 3

Snake tongue.

Answer 4

bagel - cream cheese and lox - good for all occasions.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 5

How about this great variation of traditional shwarma:

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

Shwarma

- 1 pound chicken b*****s, skinned.

- 1 pound chicken thighs, skinned and deboned

- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper (or to taste)

- 1 tablespoon salt

- 1 tablespoon cumin

For tahini sauce

- 3/4 cup tahini paste

- 3-4 cloves garlic, crushed

- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

- 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper or to taste

For garnish

- 1 cup freshly chopped parsley

- 1 cup spring onion, chopped

Pita bread

- 3 pita breads, halved lengthwise (you want slices, not pockets)

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

PREPARATION

Shwarma

- Mix cumin, salt and pepper in bowl

- Halve the chicken b*****s down the middle, so you have 2 pieces from each breast

- Apply olive oil to both sides of the chicken, and then sprinkle with spice mixture

- Grill approximately 3 minutes per side, until done

- When done, remove from grill. Take a piece of white and a piece of brown, place one on top of the other and slice crosswise as thinly as you can  

    

Tahini sauce

- Mix the paste with an equal amount of water and stir vigorously until you get a smooth mixture. If it is too thick, add a little water and continue stirring. Keep on doing this until you get a nice, thick creamy sauce. If you added too much water initially, just add a little more paste. Do it slowly and carefully, mixing all the time, or you will wind up with too much sauce.

- Add the rest of the ingredients, and stir into the mix.  

- Correct seasoning to taste

-  Be very careful not to finish it all in a 'taste correcting' session

    

Pita bread

- Coat each inside face with a little olive oil

- Sprinkle with cayenne pepper  

- Place briefly on grill, face down. Be careful not to burn it - you want a nice, crispy, slightly charred piece of bread - not burnt. On a hot grill, 30 seconds or so will usually be all you need

    

Garnish

- Slice the parsley and spring onion  

- Mix in bowl

    

To serve:

I usually put the shwarma meat on first, and while it is on the barbecue I prepare the Tahini sauce and garnish. The toasted pita is last, after I have taken the meat of, to ensure it is warm while serving.

- Spread about 2 tablespoons of tahini sauce on the toasted side of each pita slice

- Pile 2-3 tablespoons of the combined meat mixture onto the slice

- Add garnish liberally

Enjoy!

I love the food that is traditionally served at Passover.  Especially Harroset.  It is served with shredded horseradish on a matzo cracker.  Harroset is made with apples, walnuts or almonds, a bit of red wine.  The recipe should be easy to find through google.  YUMMY...wish I had some now!!  Tzmies (a veggie stew) is also wonderful.  

Answer 7

-Latkes - Potato pancakes (may be topped with sour cream or applesauce) (in America)

-Sufganiyot- Jelly doughnuts (in Israel)

-Hamentaschen triangular pastries traditionally filled with poppy seeds or prunes

-Blintzes

-Cheesecake

-knish

-Matzah Ball Soup

-cholent

-kugel (there are a few kinds of kugels a popular one is potato kugel)

so those are a few, my favorites are latkes, Hamentaschen, cholent

hope this helps :]

hm it depends on the occasion. typical shabbat food includes challa, chicken, rice, some type of veggie, chicken soup.

american jewish food often incorperates bagels and lox, kugel, matzah balls, gefilta fish, cholent..

Answer 12

Lamb is a favorite dish on special occasions:

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons ground coriander

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon fennel seeds

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 1/2 pounds trimmed boned lamb shoulder, cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon tomato paste

2 cups low-salt chicken broth

1 15 1/2-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained

1 cup dried apricots (about 5 ounces)

2 large plum tomatoes, chopped

2 cinnamon sticks

1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger

2 teaspoons (packed) grated lemon peel

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation:

Mix first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Add lamb and toss to coat. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add lamb to skillet and cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally and adding 2 more tablespoons oil to skillet between batches, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer lamb to another large bowl after each batch.

Add onion and tomato paste to drippings in skillet. Reduce heat to medium; sauté until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add broth, garbanzo beans, apricots, tomatoes, cinnamon sticks, ginger, and lemon peel and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Return lamb to skillet and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lamb is just tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.)

Transfer lamb and sauce to bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

Answer 13

There is as much Jewish food as Jews that came to Israel from all over the world.

Jewish food from Oriental Europe is different from Jewish food from Morocco or Iraq, or India.

So, I can say there is not a single Jewish food.
