14 Oct SPECIAL SUKKOS RECIPES:
UNSTUFFED CABBAGE
INGREDIENTS:
1 (750 ml) bottle ketchup
1 liter ginger ale
1 whole cabbage, very
coarsely shredded
2 lb ground beef
1 onion
1⁄2 cup rice
2 eggs
garlic powder
paprika
freshly ground black
pepper & salt
DIRECTIONS:
First night Succos, we always have stuffed Cab-
bage in the Sukkah. For those of you whose life is
busy, this recipe is uncomplicated, delicious and
truly a simple version of a holiday delicacy.
Put the ketchup and ginger ale into a large soup pot
and bring to the boil. Add the cabbage. In separate
bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients. Wet hands and
form meatballs, place gently into the boiling cabbage
in the pot.
Bring to the boil, turn heat down, cover and let simmer
for 1 1/2 hours. Enhance the presentation by serving
atop of a bed of rice.
STEAK MARINADE
INGREDIENTS:
In a small bowl with
together the following
ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 cloves of grated garlic
1/4 cup of lemon juice
DIRECTIONS:
You can use this on any steak. I used oyster steak in this recipe but it’s
delicious on London broil or ribeye and only just takes a couple of simple
ingredients. If you have the time to let it marinade in the refrigerator couple
hours great, if not, you can skip that part. Add your steak to marinade in a
ziplock bag. If you have the time to let it marinade in the refrigerator couple
hours great, if not, you can skip that part. For these oyster steaks I grilled
them about 5-6 minutes per side for the perfect medium rare.
WATERMELON GAZPACHO
INGREDIENTS:
Half a large seedless watermelon,
chopped
Two Persian cucumbers, chopped
One large beefsteak tomato, chopped
Half a large red onion, chopped
Four cloves of garlic
One bell pepper, chopped
One jalapeño, Chopped (seeds, optional).
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sugar Salt, and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
I have to be honest I’m not really a big gazpacho fan,
but I do love this watermelon gazpacho. It takes all the
traditional gazpacho flavors but because of the water-
melon it’s not so heavily tomato based and it has a nice
touch of sweetness. The best part about it is that
nothing requires cooking. You’re going to put every-
thing in your blender to combine and that’s it.
