Tzimmes is a stew, often served for Rosh Hashanah, made of carrots, sweet fruits and vegetables; meat is sometimes added, as well. The dish is a Rosh Hashanah staple due to the tradition of eating sweet foods in honor of the new year.
In this episode of “Est Gezunterheyt” (“Eat in Good Health”), Rukhl Schaechter and Eve Jochnowitz demonstrate how to make two different versions of tzimmes, one with meat and one vegetarian, both with no added sugar or honey. The results are scrumptious!
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
