A Contemporary and Traditional Hanukkah Menu
The festival of Hanukkah (or “Chanukah”) celebrates Jewish spiritual and physical survival – specifically, the Jewish Maccabees’ victory over the Greek-Syrians and the Jewish re-claiming of the Second Temple over the Syrians’ false gods.
During this holiday, family and friends often gather to light the menorah, play dreidel, exchange presents, and enjoy a traditional or contemporary Hanukkah meal. For a mix of traditional and contemporary, consider choosing the following Gourmandia menu for your Hanukkah celebration this year. It’s even suitable for a dairy meal commemorating Judith (Yehudit).
Accompany the fish with asparagous rissolee with truffle puree, squash soup with goat cheese gnocchis, and latkes made with cauliflower.
For dessert, serve traditional sufganiot donuts and chocolate cookies with molten chocolate and vanilla ice-cream.
It will be a Hanukkah to remember!
