I was very excited to develop this recipe for a small cookbook that was sent by Masbia to people who made a donation to the organization. Especially around this time of year, it’s important to focus on all of the good deeds our community does.
It’s my pleasure to share this recipe with you.
Tzimmes is a traditional food eaten on Rosh Hashanah usually made of carrots and prunes. I decided to twist things up a bit and turn tzimmes into a satisfying main dish. My Slow-Cooked Beef Tzimmes is hearty, sweet and savory, and can be made in advance. I served it over rice, but it can be eaten plain as well, like a stew.
Wishing everybody a happy, healthy, and delicious new year! #5778begreat
