Charoset

Servings: 2 Cups
Category: Condiments | Jewish | Usenet
Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c Nuts, finely chopped
  • -(e.g., almonds, walnuts,
  • -filberts)
  • 2 tb Sugar or honey (or a
  • -mixture)
  • 1/2 ts Cinnamon
  • 2 c Apples (or less),
  • -chopped or grated
  • -(about 4-6 medium
  • -apples)
  • Sweet wine

Directions
Mix nuts, sugar, honey, apples and cinnamon together until well-blended. Add wine slowly until the texture resembles a thick paste, like mortar. Taste and adjust cinnamon, sugar, wine amounts. NOTES: * Traditional Seder accompaniment — This paste-like, sweet spread is a prescribed part of the traditional Seder. Its mortar-like consistency is intended to remind Jews of the bricks and mortar our ancestors labored with as slaves in Egypt. Quite incidentally, it is delicious and tastes wonderful spread on matzah. This is the traditional charoset from the Ashkenazic (Eastern European) Jewish tradition; very different, but equally delicious, charoset recipes, using such ingredients as dates, raisins and sesame, can be found in the various Sephardic communities (e.g., Yemenite, Persian, Turkish, Moroccan, etc.). * This recipe yields about enough for the Seder table. If you like this as much as we do, you will want to make more. * Some people prefer a chunkier, less smoothly-blended charoset. * If you live in an area where Kosher for Passover ground nuts (not groundnuts) are available, they save a lot of chopping time and lead to a smoother consistency. If you’re lucky enough to have a Kosher for Passover food processor, you will also save a lot of arm exercise. And remember, kids love to chop! : Difficulty: easy. : Time: 20 minutes to several hours, depending on how much hand-chopping you have to do. : Precision: no need to measure. : Tovah Hollander : UCLA Comprehensive Epilepsy Program, Los Angeles, California USA : {ihnp4!sdcrdcf,seismo!hao}!cepu!tovah : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust From Gemini’s MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini

Cathe’s Burgundy-Mushroom Gravy

Servings: 1 Batch
Category: Condiments | Holiday | Cathe
Ingredients

  • 4 tb Butter
  • 1 lb Mushrooms (fresh), cleaned,
  • -trimmed and sliced thinly
  • 1 lg Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 c Burgundy wine
  • -(or other red wine)
  • 4 tb Flour
  • 10 oz Chicken broth (canned)
  • 1 c Water (more as needed)
  • 1/2 ts Garlic flakes, dried

Directions
Melt the butter in a small pan (about 1-quart size). Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook over medium heat until all the liquid that cooks out of them has evaporated and you just have the oil from the butter (in the pan with the mushrooms). Stir frequently so they brown, but do not burn. Add the chopped onion and red wine. Continue cooking until all the liquid has cooked out (you are left with just the oil from the butter in the pan, with the mushrooms and onions). IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THERE BE NO LIQUID LEFT IN THE PAN OTHER THAN THE OIL FROM THE BUTTER. (The onions may cook down until you can’t see them.) Add the flour to the mushroom mixture. Stir well so that the oil from the butter is absorbed by the flour. Add the entire can of chicken broth at once and stir well. The broth and the flour/butter mixture should combine to make a thick liquid. This may not thicken until it starts to boil. Stir constantly, or the mixture will stick to the bottom of the pan. Add enough water to make the gravy have a consistency you like. I like mine thick, so a cup of water is enough. Lower the heat. Add the dried minced garlic and cook over low heat until the garlic flakes absorb enough liquid to no longer be crunchy. Cathe’s notes: * Created in California, 1976. Vicki’s notes: * When Cathe first gave me this recipe (mid ’80s), it said to saute the onion in 1 T olive oil (then remove onions). Then cook only *1/2 pound* of mushrooms in the oil, and add 1/4 t garlic salt (no garlic flakes). The recipe said to brown the mushrooms until no juice was left and mushrooms were “squeaky.” Then add half the wine, cook down, add rest of wine, and cook down. Return onions and add just *1 tablespoon* of butter; stir in *1/4 cup* of flour, stirring frequently, till very brown. Then it said to add half the chicken broth, mix well, add rest, and cook at “gentle bubble” till thickened. “If too thick, add up to 1/2 cup of water; cook at slow bubble till flour taste is gone.” From Gemini’s MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
