This article presents a six-recipe menu designed for a perfect Shabbat (Sabbath) meal, featuring a variety of dishes from appetizers to dessert. The meal begins with a spicy roasted pepper and eggplant salad called 'Lotanitsa,' which is served with fresh challah bread. The challah recipe, provided by Ben Shi, emphasizes achieving a soft and airy texture even without a mixer, with tips on precise weighing, dough resting, and proofing.
The main course consists of chicken meatballs in a mushroom and chestnut sauce, prepared by Yonit Zukerman. The recipe involves browning the meatballs, which contain grated potato and onion, before simmering them in the sauce. This dish is accompanied by rice with noodles, a recipe from Anat Elisha where the noodles are fried to a deep golden color before the rice and water are added. The article notes that this dish requires a generous amount of oil and cooking time.
To balance the richness of the main course, a crisp carrot salad is suggested. Ron Yohanannov's recipe features julienned carrots with cilantro or parsley, garlic, chili peppers, and a lemon-vinegar dressing. The final dish is a coconut and lemon cake by Keren Agam, originally intended for Passover but suitable year-round due to its lack of matzah flour and pareve nature. The cake incorporates ground almonds and is topped with sliced almonds before baking.
