Posted on October 5, 2017October 6, 2017 by Sam Kornstein in Boston/Cambridge, Food, Garden, Recipes

Last weekend I shared a bit about a new Boston-based farm to table food delivery company called Family Dinner that was recently started by a couple friends I met at Sloan. The post is here.

It’s an Israeli (or more generally middle eastern) breakfast dish, that is in no way specific to Hanukkah. But I had been meaning to try making it for some time, after having it in Israel in 2009 and the later in Boston at the Bee Hive, so my girlfriend’s mom and I decided to give it a shot. We adapted a recipe I found in the NYT to accommodate what we had available (including celery, which was mixed with a chopped onion left over from Thanksgiving stuffing

I don’t have a good place to keep recipes. I sometimes put them in Word documents and then can never find them when I need them. Easy solution.
