Shabbat food and receipes

[teresa]

Hello my friends

What kinds of food do you prepare for Shabbat and would you like to share recipes?

someone suggested bolied eggs

I have never boiled an egg.

How about the finished product-anyone do anything special with them?

What about spices or flavoring to them?

I've never made egg salad either.

It could be fun to make it the night before for sandwiches.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

 

[.Mikha'el.]

I just find leftovers or whatever else I can eat around the house that requires no cooking.

I want to prepare for Shabbat, so what do people make the night before or even the day of, that requires no prep?

There are a lot of pre-made foods available in the grocery store. A lot of us have a special crockpot which has a setting approved for Sabbath. We have prepared different recipes we found that came with the crockpot, or on line, that are easy and kosher. That is besides the fact we love them.

One of my favorites.

SLOW COOKER STEAK ROLL-UPS

• 2 lbs. top round steak
• 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground pepper
• ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ cup grated carrots
• ½ cup sliced red bell pepper
• ½ cup sliced yellow bell pepper
• ½ cup sliced orange bell pepper
• ¼ cup sliced green onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 12-14 oz. jar tomato sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Slice steak evenly into 6 strips and pound until they are 1/4 inch thick.
2. Mix the salt, pepper and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
3. Divide each vegetable into 6 portions. Place a portion of each vegetable in the center of each of the pounded steaks. Sprinkle each with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Roll the steak up around the vegetables and hold them together with a toothpick.

You can also substitute beef with chicken and change the sauce to creamy

1. Saute the meat in a skillet.
2. Place all the steak rolls in the Crock-Pot® slow cooker, cover with tomato sauce and cook for 6-8 hours on low heat or 3-4 hours on high heat... as Sabbath comes turn crockpot to Sabbath setting. It will be so fall apart tender you will love it.
3. You can serve this warm over pasta, rice, mash potatoes that you have precooked the day before.

Why must salt be kosher?

Some brands of salt have a kosher symbol on the package, and that way you know that a reliable kosher certification agency is checking to make sure that nothing else gets mixed in to the salt and that it’s 100% kosher.

All the time.

A lot of salt come from refined salt mined underground, as a matter of fact, Norton salt has a large plant in Chicago. As Visionary also stated, there are sometimes additives that are added to salt, some can even have a slight metallic taste.

I usually have something in the crock pot, a batch of cooked rice in the rice cooker, premade and cut sandwiches in the fridge, cooked and peeled hard boiled eggs and candy placed all over the house.

anyone else besides only Jay ever make challah?

the braiding part seems a little confusing to me.

Basically you just keep one rope of the bread straight down the middle, then criss cross the ones on the right and left, over the top of the straight down the middle one?

Go to YouTube.com and search for "How to make challah". There are several great recipes there. I prefer the one with sesame seeds. My daughter likes to experiment, so she makes cinnamon sugar challah, poppy seed, sesame seed, raisin, etc. Since you live alone (I assume), you might want to make two smaller loaves and freeze one for the following Shabbat. I'm not sure if it is better to freeze it before or after baking. Sesame challah toast with butter is the bomb!

I make it all the time too....as mentioned above, you can watch you tube to see how it's braided. If you want to get brave, try a six strand braid!

um, i am NOT brave, ha ha...er, what happened to you the first time you did 6 braids?

I made one ugly challah! I had trouble keeping all the strands straight and which went where.
The second time I tried a nice Lubavitcher lady (who makes the best challah ever!) helped me and it
came out nicely. Since then I have just stuck with the three braids, easier for my simple mind.

 

[Open Heart]

Four braids comes out quite nicely for me. My problem is that it never seems to rise quite right, and ends up thick and gnarly these days. Yuck. I hate my Challah. I think it has to do with the fact that as my illness gets worse, I simply can't knead it long enough. There is a bakery that does Challah that I'm going to increasingly often.

I love soft boiled eggs for Saturday morning, and you can make them in advance. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then turn down to simmer. Add the eggs gently (make sure they are covered). Cook for 7 minutes. Cool in ice water (this makes them easy to peel). They taste yummy if you add a little salt, and are nice because they are high protein, and offset all that high carb challah.

• 3-4 cups of water
• Salt and pepper to taste

PREPARATION

2. Top with the beef stew meat and marrow bones. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper. Add the barley and kidney beans, then sprinkle on the paprika, cumin, turmeric and chili powder.

3. Drizzle the top of the cholent with honey, top with the kishka, then pour the water over the top to cover the beans. Cover the slow cooker and cook on MEDIUM heat for 3 hours, then reduce before Shabbat and switch to WARM.
