Main Dishes

The short and dazzling flavor lineup does its magic with practically no work. You will never say you are bored of salmon again! Bluefish will be suitable here, as well as any thick white fish (bass, mahimahi, halibut, etc.).

This recipe is from Levana Kirschenbaum’s new cookbook, The Whole Foods Kosher Kitchen.

Spend a wonderful evening with a few French classics and some wine to go with dinner! By the way, my bourguignon has been included in Joan Schwartz’s charming book, deceptively innocent, called Meat and Potatoes. My secret ingredient here is crème de cassis, the wonderful black currant liqueur. To peel tiny onions, throw them in a pot of boiling water for just one minute: The skins will slip right off. Better yet, get frozen tiny onions (also called cocktail onions). This dish reheats very well and improves with age, so go ahead and make it a day or two ahead.
 

When we want to have a super relaxed Friday night, this is the chicken that I make. It’s delicious and easy and sets the tone for a laid back and tasty meal.

The picture of this dish doesn't do it justice! The apple butter and the wine give the chicken a lastingly sweet taste -- a great way to start the New Year. This apple butter chicken recipe takes almost no time to prepare. It tastes best when it is freshly made. Because you are using chicken thighs, this dish will retain its moist texture even when it is reheated. For even results, divide this recipe between 2 skillets rather than reusing a single pan. When I tested this recipe out on my husband and some friends, there wasn't a morsel left!

I was looking for a meat loaf with a slight kick. The sauce poured on top keeps the meat loaf moist. For a slight variant, you can divide the loaf into 6 mini loaves. Also, this recipe is easily doubled if you’re cooking for a larger crowd.

Just in time for the Superbowl, we’ve got some perfect finger food! Who doesn’t love chicken nuggets? My kids could eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let them. They are so easy to make take just a few minutes to prepare.

These sweet and spicy chicken nuggets are for grown-up palates. They are perfect for watching the game or for any boys’ night out! Just make sure to keep plenty of drinks around – and don’t worry about the sticky mess—these fire poppers are finger lickin’ good!

This homemade barbecue sauce has a sweet gentle heat, which lightly dances on your tongue and bakes into the turkey as it slowly roasts in the oven. If you want the heat to tap dance on your tongue, reduce the amount of V-8 and increase the chili-garlic sauce.

Serves 12-15.

It’s no secret that I love all-in-one meals, and this meat and potato dish is the ultimate in comfort food. It’s so good, even your pickiest eater will love it.The son of a friend of mine (a picky eater himself!) recently told his mother that if she ever gets sick or has another baby, and others volunteer to cook for her, she should be sure to get me to make them this Sheppard’s Pie. Another happy customer!

Serves 4-6.

There is nothing like coming home after a long day and finding dinner ready and waiting for you. I know lots of my friends use their crock-pots throughout the week (as opposed to just for Shabbat). I finally decided to try out a non-cholent recipe. Success!!!

Serves 15-20 people.

Making an actual turkey can be an overwhelming prospect to even the most seasoned cook. And making it right so that it doesn't dry out is a challenge in and of itself. In our family home, my mother-in-law makes the turkey – and it is served to perfection every time. (I’m thrilled making the appetizer, sides and dessert. If I were ever going to write a Thanksgiving cookbook, it would be called “Everything But the Bird.”) My mother-in-law’s secret: she cooks the bird upside down. Brilliant!

A super simple dish that will be met with rave reviews by the children in your world.

Here's what I love about this dish: With the exception of the fresh pomegranate seeds, I keep all of these ingredients in my fridge/freezer/pantry. This recipe is great for making ahead, or just throwing together if you have last-minute company. Just don't forget to keep basting the chicken, or your dried fruit will scorch.

Don't be scared off if you aren't a coffee lover - the coffee flavor is not overpowering and blends in wonderfully with the steak spice and brown sugar to make an incredible compliment to the beef.

Fish is usually under-represented at the Shabbat table. We hope this salmon changes some minds.

Serves 4-6

A great twist on a traditional London Broil!

An underused herb, tarragon is the perfect complement to poached salmon. This tarragon sauce would also be a great dressing for any steamed spring vegetables.

This easy to prepare dish is a standout on the table!

Kids (and adults!) aren't sure if this is an entree or a dessert. Either way, it's delicious!

Serve it on spaghetti or as a spread on Challah (of course our favorite!). Homemade pesto is always a welcome addition to a meal.

I approached Susie Fishbein’s newest cookbook, Kosher by Design: Teens and 20-Somethings, with some interest.
