Hi, !
It's time to put the finishing touches on your holiday menu! Here are a few more delicious ideas for the holiday. If you're making hamantaschen today, be sure to revisit my tutorial on how to make perfect hamantaschen so your dough holds its shape and never leaks in the oven!
Cheese Bourekas: Stuffed foods are traditional for Purim, as are triangle-shaped foods, making these meatless Cheese Bourekas a fantastic choice for your menu! These savory hand pies are filled with a creamy, salty blend of feta, kashkaval, and ricotta.
Hamantaschen Prune Filling: I use plum butter (lekvar) for filling traditional cookies like hamantaschen, but it is incredibly versatile. It can be used for filling other pastries, including sweet pierogi dumplings, kolaches, and strudel. Or, serve it as a simple jam on toast or crackers.
Middle Eastern Roasted Vegetable Rice: Vegetarian food is often eaten on Purim in honor of Queen Esther. In this delicious meatless dish, basmati rice is paired with turmeric and Middle Eastern spices, roasted eggplant and carrots, chickpeas, and pine nuts. Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness, while the chickpeas add protein and fiber. This makes a fabulous vegan entrée or side dish. You will love this flavorful take on vegetable rice!
Caramel Apple Filling: Learn how to make this aromatic, creamy, and fruity filling sweetened with dulce de leche. It is absolutely delectable and perfect for hamantaschen, kolaches, or any pastry. When baked into a tasty dough, this filling provides a lovely burst of caramel apple sweetness right in the center of your cookie. What a treat!
Kosher Cocktails for Purim: The Jewish holiday of Purim calls for kosher cocktails! On Purim, we celebrate the Book of Esther, and festive drinking is often on the menu. What better way to celebrate this Talmudic tradition than by raising a glass with a tasty kosher cocktail? This list also has several options for alcohol-free mocktail variations as well.
I hope these recipes add the perfect final touch to your Purim celebrations.
I'd love to know—are you going classic with the prune lekvar, or trying the caramel apple filling this year? Let me know on Instagram.
With warmth and gratitude,
Tori
