Meri Bender’s Southern Californian Long Live Matzah Brei

October 31, 2011

Author: Aimee Bender

 

 

My mother’s adaptation of classic matzah brei for those with high cholesterol who steer clear of butter and egg yolks. I find that it’s still surprisingly good.

Ingredients:

8 eggs: six whites, two yolks

1/4 cup(s) Milk any kind of milk is fine

6-7 Pieces Matzoh

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 pinch salt and pepper

Preparation:

Put the 8 egg whites and 2 egg yolks in a bowl, whisk a bit, add a couple tablespoons of milk (any kind), whisk some more until frothy.

Soften matzoh in colander under water until a little less crisp/not quite soggy. Break it into bits. Mix bits with eggs until coated.

Cover bottom of frying pan with water, just barely covered, and add a drizzle of olive oil.

On very low heat, pour in the matzoh/egg mix. Stir slowly. Add a little salt and pepper if you like.

Keep it on low heat, stirring, as the water burns away. It sort of steams the eggs. Turn up heat as you’re finishing to get things a little crisper. Serve with whatever you like– applesauce, etc.

Jan, my best friend from high school, is an amazing cook. Her mother, Sandy is also an amazing cook. And guess what, her Bubbie, now passed away, was an amazing cook. So it’s in Jan’s DNA. Whenever I visit her home in Boston, she always has something delicious cooking on the stove or in the oven...and I always want the recipe. On one visit, she was preparing for a brunch. She was in the midst of making this amazing egg-apple thingie that didn’t have a name. Sort of a souffle, but not exactly. In the blintz family, but not quite. Something between a main course and a dessert. So I named it Jan’s Yummy because it’s from Jan and it’s yummy. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

6 Large Eggs

1 1/2 Cup(s)s Milk

1/4 cup(s) Sugar

1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

3/4 Stick of butter

2 Large Apples

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place all ingredients in a blender excluding apples and butter Place butter in 13 x 9 baking dish and place into pre-heated oven. Let butter melt. Add peeled, sliced apples and mix around in the butter, allow apples to cook 5 minutes. Pour blender batter over apples and bake until pancake is golden brown about 20-30 minutes. Dust with confectioners sugar.

 

 

 

 

 

Bubbie Esther’s Chanukah Lasagna

June 20, 2012

Author: Dina Mann

 

 

My Bubbie has a Chanukah party every year. She has five daughters, 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren, so this is one of the few times when all of us get together and re-connect, as we usually see the whole gang only at family simchas, happy occasions. Every year Bubbie tries new things like Persian rices or Greek pies, but the lasagna is a staple that’s chocked full of veggies and sweet like my Bubbaloo!

Ingredients:

1 box of lasagna

1 container frozen spinach

1 zucchini

2 Carrots

1 large ricotta container

2 packs of shredded mozzarella

2 eggs

1 cup(s) sugar

salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

2 bottles of tomato sauce

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350˚.

2. Chop veggies and sauté in large pan and season with salt, pepper and garlic. ( Feel free to swap out these veggies for other such as summer squash, broccoli, peppers, onion…)

3. Bring water to a boil and cook lasagna noodles until mildly cooked. I prefer a little al’ dente as the noodles continue to cook in the oven.

4. In a large bowl, mix ricotta, eggs, sugar and 1 and 1/3 bags of mozzarella. Reserve the remainder of the mozzarella.

5. When veggies are cooked add to cheese mixture.

6. Pour sauce on bottom pan, layer with noodles, add cheese/veggie layer, layer with noodles, add sauce, layer with noodles, add cheese/veggie layer and top off with reserved mozzarella.

7. Bake at 350˚ for an hour and half.

8. Enjoy!

 

Yetta’s Turkey Burgers

August 21, 2012

Author:Larry Gast

My mother’s parents used to have the family over for dinner quite a bit. My grandmother, Yetta, would cook. She didn’t seem to love cooking. When referring to food, she said ‘diet, ‘fattening’ and ‘bad for you’ a lot. Yetta made us food because we had to eat. I don’t remember a lot of the dishes she served. I remember salad – generally big pieces of wet iceberg lettuce, big chunks of tomato and probably some kind of oil. 

I remember rolls, likely purchased from Dierberg’s, the local grocery store with an in-house bakery. I also remember turkey burgers. I ate a lot of them. They were fine. They were just seasoned enough. They were browned in a pan. I remember chunks of onion in them fondly. When I learned about the Beyond Bubbie project, I thought about what I’d make. And looking back at Yetta’s cooking, this is what I remember. So I called her and got her recipe. The instructions below are pretty true to her approach (she said eggs were optional; she didn’t use carrot.) I liked making these. They are simple, filling, and can be riffed on endlessly. I served it with some beet horseradish from The Gefilteria. When it was cold, I mixed in some sambal. Enjoy.

 

2 Cup(s)s Ground Turkey (I used Dipaola’s from the green market in New York)

1 Carrot grated

1/2 Onion grated or diced

1.5 Teaspoons Salt

1/2 teaspoon Pepper

4 Tablespoons Bread crumbs

2 Tablespoons Olive oil Add more to taste

Directions

Mix all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.

Heat a cast iron skillet or a pan with canola oil to a decent level of heat. Meanwhile, make patties, trying to make each one the same size. Make patties somewhat flat to encourage even cooking.

Grill burgers til slightly to decently brown. Serve with greens, horseradish, sriracha, olive oil, and/or anything else.

Meat and Onions

November 30, 2012

Author: Ahuva Traube

My grandmother ob’m was a chalutzah, a pioneer in the land of Israel – a role she was exceedingly proud of. She left her home in Poland before WWII and went to Israel – or Palestine as it was then known. (Going to Israel saved her life, as the rest of her family – save for one brother – was killed during the war).During the years she was there she taught at Cypress, and she worked on a kibbutz. One of her jobs she had on the kibbutz was kitchen duty. She was taught a very basic lesson – one which she passed on to my mom, and my mom taught me. Here goes: Any time you brown meat with onions and garlic, it’s going to taste good. That’s it. Brown the meat first with onions and garlic. Everything else afterwards is just – pardon the expression – gravy.

Ingredients:

1 can be done with beef stew, pot roast, etc.

2 Medium Onions

Preparation:

Chop the onions – to taste! Smash or mince the garlic. Heat up the pan, and add a little oil. When the oil is hot, toss in the onions and garlic and allow to sweat a little. Season the meat with salt and pepper, and then add to the pot. Brown well on both sides, and then continue as you like. Turn it into a stew, a pot roast – whatever you like. Just brown the meat, garlic, and onions first – can’t go wrong!

 

Aunt Ruth’s New Year’s Day Chili

December 26, 2012

Author: Evan Kleiman

Ingredients:

½ lb. dry pinto beans, cooked until tender or 4 cans pinto beans

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 onions, diced use white for sharpness, yellow for sweetness

Salt to taste

2 lbs. ground beef or buffalo, not lean

2 – 4 garlic cloves (to taste), grated on microplane or put through garlic press

4 tablespoons chile powder

2 tablespoons New Mexico chile powder

1 – 2 teaspoons Ancho chile powder

1 teaspoon Cumin

2 teaspoons Dried Mexican Oregano, crush with your fingers as you add to the pot

1 large can peeled tomatoes in juice

Preparation:

Use a heavy pot and a wooden angled scraper for stirring when making your chili. This will help prevent all those spices from burning on the bottom of the pot.

To cook the beans:

Wash pinto beans, put them in a pot covered with cold water by 4 inches. Bring the beans to a rolling boil. Cover the pot, turn off the beans and let them sit for an hour. Now open the lid and stir. The outer layer of bean skin should be completely hydrated. Now bring the pot of beans to a low simmer and let cook until they are just tender but not falling apart. Add water as needed but never more than covers the beans by 2 inches. This way you’ll have a nice thick bean liquor to add to the chili if necessary.

To make the chili:

Film the bottom of the heavy pot with olive oil and cook the onions with salt to taste over moderate heat until they wilt. Add the ground beef or buffalo to the onions. Break the meat up as it cooks until it’s pretty much cooked through and in small pieces, not large chunks.

Add the chile powders, garlic, cumin and oregano. Add salt to taste. Stir the spices in and let cook over low heat until the meat really absorbs the spice, about 3-5 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes and juice, breaking up the tomatoes with your fingers as you add them to the pot. Add a cup of bean liquor if you have it. Stir well and let the beans simmer over low heat for a couple of hours, adding the cooked pinto beans the last half hour. Add water or bean liquid as needed to keep the chili liquid as it cooks.

Adjust seasonings at the end of cooking. This chili is better the next day. Serve it with bowls of minced raw onion, sour cream and grated sharp cheddar cheese.

Mo Rocca’s Momma’s Ravioli

February 6, 2013

Author: Mo Rocca

 

 

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

Garlic

1 package of ground meat

Italian seasoning

Onion

Fresh or frozen spinach

Salt

Pepper

1 dozen eggs

Flour

Preparation:

Prepare the filling and let cool.

Directions as follows:

Place about a Tbsp. of olive oil in a large pan. Add a few pressed or a few tsp. of garlic in and sautee until brown. Add a package of ground hamburger, Italian seasoning, onions, fresh or frozen spinach, and salt and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned.

Prepare the pasta dough.

Directions as follows:

Place a dozen eggs in a large mixing bowl and beat for about 3-5 minutes. Add flour gradually until the dough is able to be turned out onto a floured surface and kneaded. Knead for a few minutes adding flour if needed until the dough is not sticky any more. Don’t over knead or dough becomes tough. Actually, if it’s still a little sticky, it’s ok because the pasta machine kneads it while it presses it. Cut the dough into pieces small enough to be put into the machine and set it on the widest setting. Put the dough through and gradually set the machine on smaller settings until it reaches the density you want. I usually put it on 3, I think. Place the dough onto a floured surface and start filling from one end folding the edge over the filling crop the ravioli and crimp it with a fork. Boil the immediately or let them dry and then boil or freeze.

BBQ Brisket

March 30, 2013

Author: yudicle

Brisket1_12-300x200.jpg

My mother gave me this recipe. I don’t know where she got it from, but my husband and kids love it. It’s not necessarily old world and not fancy. But it is delicious. Mom was first generation American, born in 1915 in Passaic, NJ. Bubbe came from Lithuania. Usual story – steerage with two little ones in tow to meet her husband who had come first to America. Bubbe had long gray hair by the time I knew her. Always in a long braid curled on her head. I saw her once with it down – I think it embarrassed her. 

Mom told me that one of the reasons Bubbe came here was that she disagreed with the tradition of cutting a woman’s hair and wearing a wig. Otherwise, she was strictly Orthodox in her observances. We’d visit on Saturdays at the apartment my mother grew up in, and we couldn’t turn the lights on until the sun had set. If we visited on Sunday, she’d slide a dime across the kitchen table to us, and she’d tell my mother in Yiddish that we should take it to the convenience store down the street to buy a treat. Usually some Hostess snack – it was the ’50′s. I barely ever spoke to her directly as she spoke no English. A quiet, sweet non-conformist who wouldn’t cut her hair just to please her folks. Who knew when I was growing up? I miss both of them.

 

Ingredients

2 onions

1 can condensed tomato soup

1 cup ketchup

2 tbl brown sugar

2 tbl lemon joice

brisket (whatever size is needed though generally a min. of 2 lbs)

 

Preparation

Saute 2 onions until golden.

In sauce pan, add onions to tomato soup, ketchup, brown sugar and lemon juice and stir.

Heat and set aside for the sauce.

Brown brisket on all sides in frying pan or Dutch oven large enough for meat to lay flat. Add 1/2 cup water, cover and simmer 2-2 1/2 hours.

Take out brisket, slice. In a baking dish – anything from 8×8 thru 9×12 – whatever fits.- spread some sauce in the bottom of the dish. Place sliced brisket in the dish and smother with remaining sauce.

It can be baked immediately. HOWEVER – it is best if prepared as above a day ahead and put in the refrigerator overnight. Bake (the next day) at 350 degrees, 45 minutes.

 

 

 

Savtah’s Famous Beef Tongue

April 9, 2013

Author: Kitchen Tested

img_1258-300x225.jpg

Food memories are a huge part of my life, especially since I spend so much time thinking about food. When I think of my childhood, I think of comfort foods like tuna casserole, meatballs and rice, Wacky Mac, nachos, and homemade overnight potato kugel (thanks Mom). But those are just the memories from my own house. Sometimes I think about the Greek food I ate at my best friend Denah’s house and other times it’s the mouth-watering Thanksgiving stuffing in my Aunty Ellen’s dining room in Seattle. And one of my favorite memories is eating salmon skin sushi in Campbell River, Canada with my dad before our 10 day fishing trip! Well, this recipe post is devoted to another one of my favorite food memories.

When I think of my Saba and Savtah’s (grandfather and grandmother in Hebrew) dining room table, I think of Israeli couscous (I used to pick out the mushrooms and celery), sweet zucchini ring, cabbage borscht, homemade candy cane ice cream, pistachio’s in a bowl that my mom always told me not to eat, and beef tongue. As you can see, my Savtah was an incredible cook and I can keep going with my list of food memories from her house. She used to keep tins of sweets (meringue’s, mandelbrot cookies and hazen bluzen with powdered sugar) in a closet and I used to snack on them all the time. Okay, I need to focus! I can write about her cooking all day long, but right now, it’s about the beef tongue.

If you’ve never tried tongue before, this is the recipe you should start with! As I eat the sweet and tender meat, I wonder how anyone can dislike it and I realize it is all mental. If you can look beyond the fact that it is the tongue of a cow and that it actually looks like a tongue when it is sliced, you can join the club of people who are enjoying one of the most delectable meats out there. Go ahead…give it a shot! You won’t regret it.

Originally published in Kitchen Tested.

Ingredients:

1 beef tongue

1 onion

1 bay leaf

1 Tbsp pickling spice

pressure cooker

Topping Ingredients

2/3 cup brown sugar

2 diced onions

2 Tbsp lemon juice

15 oz can tomato sauce

1/2 cup water

white raisins

dried apricots

dried prunes

Preparation:

A raw beef tongue may not be pretty to look at, but it’s delicious! The first thing I did was set up my pressure cooker since I just got it in the mail. What a special moment for me to finally own my own pressure cooker. I remember my mom’s on the stove top, usually cooking chicken soup for Shabbos. Anyways, I placed the tongue on the rack in the pressure cooker with an onion, bay leaf and pickling spices. I filled the cooker halfway with water. I then spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out how to close the top. I know it is so simple but I was trying to follow the directions and they were very confusing. When I finally figured out how to close the darn thing, I placed the temperature on medium-high and waiting until the jiggler (rotating) valve began to shake and hiss loudly, around 20 minutes. I then lowered the temperature to low so the pressure cooker wouldn’t explode. Yes, that can happen! At that point, the valve let out a light hiss. I set a timer for 40 minutes and let the meat do it’s thing.

40 minutes later, I turned off the heat and kept the cooker closed until the pressure subsided. If you don’t have the patience to wait, you can push the valve and the pressure will leave the pot faster. Just be careful of the steam. When I opened the top, a beautiful piece of cooked tongue was revealed!

I let the tongue cool until I could handle it with my hands, then I took it out of the pressure cooker and peeled it. I know that sounds a little gross, but it didn’t take long at all. I refrigerated the tongue over night, but you only need it to cool for a few hours. I also saved the onion to use in the sauce. I suggest you do the same.

The following evening, I took the tongue out of the fridge and sliced it (not too thin). I then layered the tongue in a pan and made the sauce.

I boiled the brown sugar, 1 onion from the pressure cooker and 1 raw diced onion, lemon juice, tomato sauce and water and poured it over the tongue. Tip: You can also use this sauce for meatballs. That’s what my Savtah used to do.

I added the white raisins, apricots and prunes over the sauce. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Use as much or as little as you like.

I covered the pan and placed it in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour. I then uncovered it and the tongue continued to cook for another 30 minutes. This gave the sauce and dried fruit a chance to caramelize before I served it. And that’s it! Nothing to it, right?!? For a side dish, I just roasted some green beans and mushrooms with olive oil, salt and pepper and chowed down! Just like my Savta used to make it.
