Sweet and Sour Fish Tacos

Another contemporary twist on a traditional dish, these tacos are inspired by the Italian-Jewish custom of eating sweet and sour fish for Rosh Hashanah. Pesce All’Ebraica (lit. Jewish Fish) is normally made with fillets of white fish cooked in oil, honey or sugar and vinegar, and flavoured with raisins or sultanas and toasted pine nuts.

We have seasoned our fish with South American flavours of agave and lime, bringing sugar and vinegar into the dish with pickled onions, and throwing juicy sultanas and tart green apples through a crunchy red cabbage slaw. All this is stuffed into homemade corn tacos for the perfect mouthful. (N.B. You will require a tortilla press for the tacos. If you haven’t got the time, equipment or patience to make your own corn tortillas, you can use store-bought flour tortillas, or forego the wraps altogether and serve as a plate of fish and salad with chips!)

Refreshingly Simple Sweetheart Cabbage and Celery Slaw

A simple fresh slaw can lift almost any dish, cutting through with acidity. Pairing great with meat dishes fish or as an extra salad for a lunchbox, this super simple slaw packs a zingy citrus punch and a refreshing crunch. We recommend serving this slaw with our 3-course Seder Plate-inspired menu (perhaps adding in some chopped spring onions if they feature on your Seder table).

This torte can be made parev or dairy, and we think it’s best served with single cream (when applicable) and fresh fruit.

Herby Maror (Horseradish) Crusted Salmon

Herby Marror and Karpas Crusted Salmon

It’s a classic Pesach conundrum: you buy a whole horseradish as long as an arm, and after using a small chunk for the seder plate find yourself with a slowly aging stick in the vegetable drawer of the fridge. What does one do with all the leftovers? Well, as the commandment of keeping Passover explicitly includes consumption of maror, we think it’s worth incorporating it into the meal on Seder night or at any time during the week. Horseradish makes an excellent addition to mashed potatoes to complement a meaty main course, for example. Here we’ve included it as a peppery addition to a herb crusted salmon, balanced with the freshness of lemon and parsley.

Pea, Courgette and Caramelised Onion Salad

A seasonal and refreshing accompaniment to meat, chicken, dairy or fish meals, which also gives a nod to the Simanim with the inclusion of gourds in the form of courgette and the sweetness of honey-caramelised onions. A great base for a light lunch with whatever protein you prefer, this vibrant green salad is fantastic for lunchboxes and a delicious choice for a Shabbat, Yom Tov or any day of the week! If you’re making this salad for Rosh Hashanah, add baby leaf spinach or swiss chard for an extra Siman boost.

Sweet Potato and Squash Chips

Root vegetables are a seasonal staple for Sukkot and Rosh Hashana, as well as a Pesach-friendly side and an alternative to white potatoes. These sweet vegetables are also ideal for Rosh Hashana, where we have the custom to eat sweet foods for a “good and sweet new year,” and we eat gourds such as squash as one of the Simanim, representing our desire that, if it be Hashem’s will, that the evil of our verdicts be torn apart, and that our merits be announced before Him.
