Rosh hashanah seder, omens or salad
Celebrate Rosh Hashanah with a delightful seder omen salad. Feel the crispness of fresh ingredients and the burst of flavors in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 8 pieces Beets
- 8 pieces Cabbage, leek, scallion or chives.
- 8 pieces Dates, good quality
- 2 cups Hilbeh Dip (fenugreek) or servings of the fresh leafy herb, black-eyed peas, string beans or carrots.
- 8 pieces Fish, your choice
- 1810g Beef tongue (average size roast, or smaller if you want and can find it))
- 2 cups Pomegranate seeds (arils), fresh
- 8 pieces Pumpkin wedge or carrot cut in coins
- 1 cup Sesame seeds, mixed lightly with sugar
Instructions:
- To prepare the beets, you can either poach, pickle, or fry beet slices. Alternatively, you can cut raw beets or opt for beet chips from prepackaged root vegetable chips.
- When it comes to the cabbage group, simpler preparations work well. Cut raw cabbage, leek, scallion, or chives into bite-sized pieces. Serve dates as they are. For pomegranate, remove the white webbing similar to citrus pith and serve the seeds in a bowl. Combine raw or roasted sesame seeds with a little sugar in a bowl, reminiscent of an Indian after-dinner snack.
- For the fenugreek group, you have various options. You can make Hilbeh, a Middle Eastern dip or sauce, using fenugreek seeds. Alternatively, use fresh fenugreek leaves, washed and trimmed. Another option is to cook and serve black-eyed peas, string beans, or carrots.
- When working with the fish group, you can bake or fry a fresh fillet of your choice or your family's favorite fish. You can also serve thin slices of smoked fish or a chopped fish salad (approximately 1/4 cup per person).
- Among the beef tongue and other options like fish, lamb, or sheep's head, beef tongue might be the most appealing choice. A medium-sized beef tongue will leave you with leftovers for another meal or sandwiches. Cook, cool, and slice it. Serve it cold or reheat it to serve hot.
- Prepare pumpkin wedges or sliced carrots. Trim them, lightly coat with oil, and roast until tender. Serve them hot, cold, or at room temperature.
