Ingredients

  • 4 pounds flanken cubed (for Rosh Hashana I like to use cheek meat)
  • 5 pounds carrots sliced in 2-3 inch pieces
  • 3 pounds sliced onions
  • 2 cups honey
  • 2-4 tablespoons pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1-2 dashes salt to taste
  • 1 box favorite knaidelach mix
  • 3 kishke - sliced into rounds
  • 1 bag marrow bones optional but it adds a nice rich flavor

Instructions

  • Place cubes of flanken, carrots, onions, and marrow bones (if using) in a large pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Skim. 
  • Simmer until meat is cooked and vegetables are tender. 
  • While items are cooking, mix kneidlach batter and place in fridge.
  • Remove most of water from pot (save it as you will need it again later). Add 1-3 cups honey. Season with pepper per your taste and add a few splashes of lemon juice. Mix and place all items into a large roaster.
  • Form kneidlach, slice kishka and distribute both items around the roaster. If it looks dry add some of the reserved cooking liquid. 
  • Bake uncovered at 350° for 1-2 hours, basting kneidlach and kishka so they don’t dry out too much. Add reserved liquid if needed, otherwise you’ve got a nice beef stock to freeze and use later.
  • Tip: This is the kind of dish that tastes best when frozen and reheated.
