MODERN JEWISH THANKSGIVING MENU
This Thanksgiving, cook up this modern Jewish Thanksgiving menu from Kitchen Tested:
Spatchcock Chicken with Mulled Apple Cider Braised Vegetables
Instead of serving a huge turkey at your Thanksgiving table that will take hours to cook and might even dry out, try making a Spatchcock Chicken instead and you will get it right every time! The technique of splitting and flattering the bird yields a perfect roasted chicken and exposes more of the skin to crisp up.
Pumpkin Challah Stuffing
Shake up your Thanksgiving stuffing by using homemade challah, a traditional Jewish braided egg-bread served on Sabbath and holidays. You can use any type of challah, including garlic or whole wheat, but the pumpkin challah in this recipe works perfectly with the fall flavors of dried herbs, fresh pumpkin and chestnuts.
Green Beans with Schmaltz Fried Shallots
What’s more Jewish than schmaltz, right?!? This rendered fat from a chicken is traditionally used in place of butter and adds tons of flavor to fried dishes, matzo balls and pretty much anything you can think of that contains oil. The crunchy green beans topped with schmaltz fried shallots, pumpkin seeds and lemon zest is a play on a traditional green bean casserole with French fried onions.
Chocolate Gelt Pecan Pie
Chocolate gelt, the gold-foil-encased coins that represent the Jewish holiday of Chanukah, have their own unique chocolaty flavor and you can really taste it’s creamy quality in this pecan pie.
