Rosh Hashanah Cuisine: Recipes

Features Rosh Hashanah Cuisine: Recipes

Rosh Hashanah meals usually include apples dipped in honey to symbolize a sweet new year.
Other foods with a symbolic meaning may be served, depending on local minhag ("custom"), such as the head of a fish (to symbolize the prayer "let us be the head and not the tail").Many communities hold a "Rosh Hashanah seder" during which blessings are recited over a variety of symbolic dishes.[21][22][23] The blessings have the incipit "Yehi ratzon", meaning "May it be Thy will." In many cases, the name of the food in Hebrew or Aramaic represents a play on words (a pun).
The Yehi Ratzon platter may include apples (dipped in honey, baked or cooked as a compote called mansanada); dates; pomegranates; black-eyed peas; pumpkin-filled pastries called rodanchas; leek fritters called keftedes de prasa; beets; and a whole fish with the head intact.
It is also common to eat stuffed vegetables called legumbres yaprakes.[24]
Some of the symbolic foods eaten are dates, black-eyed peas, leek, spinach and gourd, all of which are mentioned in the Talmud:[25] “Let a man be accustomed to eat on New Years Day gourds (קרא), and fenugreek (רוביא),[26] leeks (כרתי), beet [leaves] (סילקא), and dates ( תמרי).” Pomegranates are used in many traditions, to symbolize being fruitful like the pomegranate with its many seeds.[27] The use of apples dipped in honey, symbolizing a sweet year, is a late medieval Ashkenazi addition, though it is now almost universally accepted.
Typically, round challah bread is served, to symbolize the cycle of the year.[27] Gefilte fish and Lekach are commonly served by Ashkenazic Jews on this holiday.
On the second night, new fruits are served to warrant inclusion of the shehecheyanu blessing.
