Cholent (Beef Stew)
We’ve adapted this recipe by using fresh cabbage leaves rather than the more traditional pickled cabbage. To add a pleasant sourness to the dish, top the stuffed cabbage in the pot with 2 cups sauerkraut before baking, if you like. See the Sarmale (Stuffed Cabbage) Recipe Landon Nordeman
The recipe for this comforting soup is based on one from Budapest chef Andras Singer, who crumbles matzo to make his matzo balls, giving them a striated texture. We found that using baking powder makes them even more springy and airy. See the Knaidelach (Matzo Balls and Goose Soup) Recipe Landon Nordeman
