28 Mar SPECIAL PESACH RECIPES
UNSTUFFED CABBAGE
INGREDIENTS:
1 large cabbage, cored and sliced
1 ¼ cups ketchup
1 15oz can diced tomatoes
4 cups ginger ale
2 lbs chopped meat
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
All the flavor of stuffed cabbage without the effort. Unstued cabbage is an easy and delicious way to enjoy the taste of traditional stuffed cabbage but without the work. In a large pot, add the ketchup and ginger ale, stir to combine. Add the diced tomatoes and chopped cabbage. Combine the chopped meat, egg, salt and pepper. Roll into meatballs. I prefer them smaller sized around the size of a quarter in diameter. Add to the pot. Cover and cook on medium flame for 1 ½ hours.
PESACH ONION CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS:
8 chicken thighs
2 large onions, chopped
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1 cup water
DIRECTIONS:
I bake my quinoa in the oven using 2 cups of quinoa to 4 cups of water, a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Cover tightly and bake at 350 for 45 minutes until the water is absorbed. Scramble two eggs and then dip your chicken cutlets in the egg, and then into the cooled quinoa, pat it on both sides to make sure that the quinoa is sticking to the cutlet. In a large frying pan, heat oil and add your cutlets. Make sure your oil is hot before you put in the cutlets. Do not overcrowd the pan. Allow the quinoa to start getting brown and you’ll see the edges of the chicken cutlets turning white before you flip them. You only want to flip them once. About 3 to 4 minutes per side depending on the thickness of your cutlets. Put them on a cooling rack and sprinkle with some finishing salt.
