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.
Â
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).
Â
Â
Accompany the fish with asparagous rissolee with truffle puree, squash soup with goat cheese gnocchis, and latkes made with cauliflower.
Â
For dessert, serve traditional sufganiot donuts and chocolate cookies with molten chocolate and vanilla ice-cream.
Â
It will be a Hanukkah to remember!
