Menu for an Israeli Shabbat Dinner
The Jewish day of rest is customarily marked with a festive meal on Friday night. These recipes bring an Israeli touch with an emphasis on Israel’s seasonal winter vegetables.
For Jews, a large, festive meal is a once-a-week occasion in order to mark Shabbat, the Jewish sabbath. The big meal is customarily served on Friday evening. These recipes bring an Israeli touch to the weekly day of rest, with an emphasis on Israel’s seasonal winter vegetables.
What makes this menu Israeli? Fresh produce plays a key role in every dish, and ingredients such as Swiss chard, chickpeas, pomegranate and couscous are all common in Israel. It’s colorful, rich in bold flavors, and it doesn’t follow a strict culinary tradition. For me, that’s Israeli.
Israeli Shabbat dinner menu:
Meatballs in Swiss chard and chickpea stew
Beet, pomegranate and tomato salad
