Savory Hamantaschen

March 14, 2008

I’m going to be making sweet hamantaschen with the boys next week for Purim, filling them with jam and chocolate chips. But I am totally in love with the idea of making savory hamantashen instead! I’d never have thought to do that. Leah Koenig, the author of that post, is wrong, though. Mohn, or poppy seed, is the BEST hamantaschen filling, hands down.

    Hmmm, I never really thought much about it as I like extra sweet things…but a friend of mine in Vancouver used to rave about these poppy seed things with a longish name:O) Now I realize this is the same thing. I am pretty sure they came from here:

    Hey Dara,

    If you do end up making the savory hamantaschen with your family, drop a line at The Jew & The Carrot to let us know how they turned out! Happy to agree to disagree about the mohn filling – more for you and less for me! ;-)

    Leah,

Cheesy Kale Crisps: We rarely eat kale now that our farm share is over, and I want to fix that. I've wanted to try using nutritional yeast, and this recipe looks like a tasty way to do it.

"Shake It Out" by Florence + the Machine. This song reminds me of Annie Lennox, and I love tracks that include a huge, gospel-like chorus.
