bloviatrix Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Holiday starts tonight. It's just going to be the three of us this year. I'm doing a very streamlined menu this year: Rosh Hashana 7 Vegetable Soup Sweet & Sour Brisket Black Barley w/pomegranate and celery Savoy cabbage, apple, walnut & sumac onion salad We'll also have a fish head. I've tried to incorporate as many of the symbols we eat which represent our hopes and wishes for the new year. Obviously there's apples and honey, but also leeks, pomegranates, and squash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanieL Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) I got a raisin challah and a honey cake from Wise Sons. Erev Rosh Hashanah dinner is going to be at either Harry's Hofbrau or Mel's Diner. 😄 Edited September 15, 2023 by StephanieL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to be a little more creative on the holiday, but one of my favorite recipes is what I call "Brisket for Dummies". Basically, you chop up some carrots, onions, and celery and place is at the bottom of a roasting dish. Lay the brisket on top and smother it with marinara sauce. Cover the the dish tightly with foil and cook in a 325 oven for 3 - 4 hours depending on the size. Slice when cool and reheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up eating dinner at home, but I probably would have gotten the meatloaf dinner or something similar. Tonight N is making the Wise Sons' cookbook recipe for roast chicken, along with Brussels sprouts, carrots, and delicata squash cooked in the roasting pan and potatoes cooked separately in duck fat (so they get crispy).
