    Well, I was just wondering what do you cook for Shabbos/Shabbat. I usually cook on Friday, but unfortunately something came up and had to cook tonight. So while I am waiting for the food to finish cooking, I am in the coffee room. If you can share what is your usual menu for Shabbos, or even a favorite receipe…

    Top of the rib in sweet sauce.

    Corn Kugel, Yerushalmi Kugel, my special rice, chicken a l’orange, cholent, chicken soup (not int eh order given), and chocolate pie for dessert.

    I take a graham cracker crust, mix two packages of instant chocolate pudding with 2 cups Hadar whip and one cup pareve creamer, pour into the pie shell and sprinkle coarsely crushed Viennese Crunch all over the top to cover it. Freeze and serve for dessert (you can take it out at the beginning of the meal and let it thaw a little).

    Mechse = any vegetable stuffed with rice, meat and spices, like zucchini, onion skins, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant.

    Ames, I made chicken soup with tons of veggies, squash Mechse, string beans in tomato sauce, and a turkey roast with cranberry, soy sauce, duck sauce concuction.

    I have a vegatarian chulent on the stove, cold cuts, potato borekas, various salads, and Lechmeagene for lunch. For the Mod’s info, that would be a meat pie.

    Dessert is a store bought cinnamon loaf, cookies, grapes, and oranges.

    Oh and no meal would be complete without rice, but that is only good freshly made.

    Onion Mecshe receipe (aromas of Aleppo

    3 spanish or vidalia onions

    1 lb Hashu (chopped meat and rice mixture)

    3 tablespoons tamarind concentrate (available in most local flatbush stores)

    2 tablespoon lemon juice

    1 teaspoon kosher salt

    1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

    1. Cook the onions, first cut a vertical slit down the side of each onion and remove the other skin. (I usually make a cut down the onion, before I boil it.) Put the onions in a large saucepan and cover with water, bring to a boil. reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes till onion layers begin to soften.

    2. Drain and remove the onion from the saucepan. Seperate the individual layers of each onion.

    3.spoon a tablespoon of the Hashu mix into each onion layer and roll slightly. ( the onion can be frozen on a baking sheet, once frozen, you can transfer in to a frezzer bag for storage.

    4. Preheat oven to 350*

    5. Place the stuffed onions in a medium ovenproof saucepan or roaster. In a small bowl, mix the tamarind sauce, with the lemon juice, salt, 1 cup of water, & sugar if using. Pour sauce over stuffed onions. Top with ovenproof plate to keep onions from opening. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or till juice have thickened and the meat is fully cooked. Transfer to the oven and continue to cook the onions for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

    NOTE: I skip the stove top part and put it straight into the oven (minus the plate). I also use cooked rice in the hashu mixture. If you use raw rice, please note, that it will expand and blow out of the shell. Also, check from time to time that there is some liquid in the baking dish. If you need, add a little water, to keep it from drying out.

    I made a squash mechse tonight – Sorry, don’t have exact measurements. I use small-medium size zucchini squash. I cut each zucchini into 2-3 pieces, which I hollow out. (I save the insides for something else, like a squash quiche or throw them into a soup.) After I fill it with the meat and rice mixture, along with allspice, cinnamon, salt, an black pepper. I take a large pot and add 4 cloves of garlic and saute in a little oil, than add the stuffed zucchini, and steam, it for five minutes. Then I toss in some dried apricots, some lemon juice, and fill the pot with water to cover the squash. I usually put a ovenproof plate over the squash in the pot. I let it cook for at least 2 hours on a low flame. It is delicious.

    I also use prune butter in the onion mechse as well. I was just giving the receipe from the cook book.

    Ames, I knew someone who used to make it in their Hamud.(Mods’, that’s a sour & sweet kind of broth with veggie and syrian meatballs. Sorry, no receipe, my family doesn’t like it, therefore, I don’t make it.)

    Ames, I don’t think ASDF… knows what a gizzard is. Then I don’t think he would be eating it. Some things are an acquired taste I think.

    If you want to know what it looks like,(if you are a little curious, no, not you Curious) ask your butcher to point it out for you.

    What would you call it? Ames’ and Mazal77’s wacky creations? I’m not sure either one of them would go for it, unless they don’t notice it after you change the foum name to something less demeaning (which still shows in the URL).

    No, this time it’s Yiddish, which I don’t normally spell with Latin letters. I could reword it in Deutsch, if you’d like, or I could just translate. I said that we must have a bit to drink after the fish. So I make something that everyone can stomach (though I myself stick to good ‘ole Maker’s Mark).
