Not Your Bubbe's Matzo Brei: Matzo Brei with Roasted Peppers, Olives & Parsley

From the Blog: Mango & Tomato

Happy Passover! I think of myself as a cultural Jew: I enjoy Jewish folklore, holiday traditions, and food, but don't visit a synagogue regularly, pray, or keep Kosher.

This past week, I picked up a box of matzo at Whole Foods and decided to make matzo brei for breakfast. Typically, matzo brei is made with eggs and a bit of seasoning. Many people I know use cinnamon and sugar, but that's not my cup of tea. My dad makes matzo brei with salt, pepper, dill, and a generous amount of oil for frying. I decided to come up with something a bit different and more filling: Not Your Bubbe's Matzo Brei: Matzo Brei with Roasted Peppers, Olives & Parsley.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs Recipe

By Samantha Mattox in The Nosher for MyJewishLearning.com
Every Jewish home has a sweet and sour meatballs recipe. For some of us, it’s scribbled down on a soiled napkin. For others, it’s in our favorite kosher cookbook. And probably for most of us, it’s not written down anywhere but instead trapped in our grandmas’ heads.

That was the case for me, until a couple of years ago when my mom and I went on a mission to make a family cookbook. For hours, we trailed my grandma around the kitchen with measuring cups, paper, a pen, and lots of patience, and attempted to document one of our family’s favorite recipes.

We are so happy we did! It’s absolutely delicious. Tender meatballs, chicken wings (my family’s twist on the classic!), and that heavenly sweet and sour sauce.

Sumac Chicken and Rice Recipe

By Danielle Oron in The Nosher for MyJewishLearning.com

If you’re like me, you will constantly ask yourself the same question every week: “What should I make for Shabbat this week?” I like changing things up from week to week but that’s not always easy to do since I get home only moments before dinnertime each Friday. When I know that it’s going to be a bit too late to make a nice Shabbat dinner, I make this go-to chicken and rice dish. It looks gorgeous, tastes incredible, comes together in no time, and you can make it all in one pan that goes straight into the oven. Could you really ask for more? Well, there is more…you can assemble this a day ahead of time and throw it in the oven when you get home. Yes, it is a Shabbat dream come true.
