Jewish Cuisine Tips
When it comes to Jewish Cuisine, we've been there, done that, now serving 5 tips in 1 categories ranging from Public Service site: Jewish Cuisine (Tips) to Public Service site: Jewish Cuisine (Tips).
Blintzes
Blintzes can be stuffed with different flavors of cheese, jelly, and fruit.
The outside of the blintz is a thin piece of dough which can be made from any flour of your choosing. Take separate pieces of dough and roll them out into small circles.
Decide on which fillings your want to use, let's say cheese. Take a tablespoon of the cheese filling and place it on one side of the rolled out dough. Then roll the dough, covering the inside cheese filling.
Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry your homemade cheese blintzes.
Brisket
If you have ever eaten brisket that was cooked to perfection, here is one simple approach which may help you achieve the same.
Brisket is a large piece of meat, similar to pot roast, which takes a long time to cook. The reason is it is cooked on a low heat to maintain its juices.
A secret to making appetizing brisket is onion mix. The simple packet of onion mix which you can get from Knorr's is all it takes. Add 1 or 2 packets of mix, depending on how large your cut of meat is, and cover with foil. Make sure you add some water to the bottom of the pan from the beginning so while cooking, you can baste the meat and flip it.
String Beans
A green string bean is a side dish which can be added to any meal. One way of cooking string beans is by using chicken fat.
Take chicken fat with water and put it in a pan on a low simmer. Some people add tomato sauce for flavor but the flavoring choice is up to you.
After you have washed and trimmed the string beans, add them to the chicken fat and stir all together. Then leave it on the stove on a low simmer, stirring occasionally.
Toward the end of cooking the strong beans, some people like to add sliced or whole almonds to their side dish.
Chicken Soup
Every Jewish mother tells their child when they are sick to eat chicken soup. But what happened when you are a sick adult: who will bring you your chicken soup?
The secret to making Mom's homemade chicken soup is taking real chicken parts, like the thighs and wings, and boiling on a low flame. This is done for 1 to 3 hours.
Next, add parsley, celery, carrots, turnips, to the chicken soup with a little salt and pepper. Cilantro and dill also gives the soup a nice flavor.
Chicken soup hydrates the body and adds back the electrolytes to help your immune system gain strength to fight off infection.
Stuffed Cabbage
There are many different ways to make Stuffed Cabbage but the secret begins with the cabbage!
The cabbage needs to be boiled so it is soft enough to roll the meat inside, but not hard where it can still break.
Usually stuffed cabbage can be sweet or sour and the taste comes from the ingredients which are used. To make your stuffed cabbage sour, since sour cream is not used due to the kosher laws, sauerkraut is used in its place.
To make your stuffed cabbage sweet, tomato sauce and adding raisins into the mixture will satisfy the sweetness.
