15 Rosh Hashanah Recipes

It’s that time of year again. Who can believe that the summer flew by, the kids started school and we are planning Rosh HaShana menus?

We have a delicious and impressive line-up filled with seasonal flavors for Rosh HaShana and hope you enjoy it, let us know which recipes you choose!

Duck and Wild Rice Salad with Orange Shallot Dressing

For a stupendous kick-off to your Yom Tov meal start with this delicious appetizer. The duck and wild rice salad with orange shallot dressing sets the tone for an elegant meal. The wild rice, craisins and duck meld together and bring you the flavors of the season. Some butchers stock frozen duck breasts year round and some require you to order duck in advance. If duck is not available to you, you can use dark meat chicken cutlets with the skin attached or even turkey breast.

Spiced Maple Pumpkin Soup with Sauteed Cremini Mushrooms

The spiced maple pumpkin soup with sautéed cremini mushrooms is light and earthy at the same time. The mushrooms add a wonderful boost to the soup. This can also be served in a scooped out mini pumpkin or acorn squash if you are feeling adventurous. Simply slice off the top 2 inches of your gourd, scoop out the seeds and some flesh, and bake upside-down at 350 for approximately 15 minutes. You don’t want the pumpkin to become soft.

Herb Crusted Rib Roast

For the entrée I chose a roast fit for a king. The garlic herb crusted roast looks like a crown when you serve it. The recipe calls for a 2 lb. roast but I would increase the size for a more impressive dish. The herb paste makes a crispy, flavorful crust that permeates each slice…. No need to say any more.

Summer Salad with Sweet Poppyseed Dressing

The summer salad with sweet poppy seed dressing is a wonderful complement to the roast. The flavors are bright and crisp and we can still have a little taste of summer left… For Rosh HaShana omit the poppy seeds from the dressing and add 1 cup pomegranate seeds to the salad.

Balsamic Cipollini Onions

One of my favorite side dishes with a roast are the balsamic cipollini onions. The sugar caramelizes and the balsamic vinegar gives a great tangy flavor. And I wouldn’t miss the apple fig crisp. Besides the obvious use of the apples, the figs and wine add a wonderful depth of flavor for a twist on a classic apple crisp.

Aple Fig Crisp

For a seasonal dessert that is a great do-ahead choice try the lemon pomegranate ice cream bombes. They have a bright, fresh flavor and are beautiful to look at. Plus you can use store bought ice cream and sorbet to simplify things….
