My Mom developed this recipe which has become a holiday tradition in our family. It's different from many tzimuses because it is not made with sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces pitted prunes
- 2 large potatoes , peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 carrots , peeled and sliced into rounds
- 1.5 teaspoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons matzo meal , Optional
Instructions
-
1
Place the prunes in a large saucepan, and add water to barely cover while you peel and cut the potatoes and carrots. Add the potatoes, carrots, lemon juice, and sugar to the water, bring to a boil, and lower heat. Simmer the mixture until the carrots are very tender and the mixture is thick, about 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes.

If a thicker tzimus is desired, stir in the matzo meal and simmer an additional 30 minutes.

Garlic Chicken with Orzo Noodles
This is a simple recipe with a spicy kick for garlic lovers. It is my combination of a much loved linguine and clam sauce dish and a recent introduction to orzo pasta. I have several variations for this recipe. Add more red pepper for extra spice. Substitute the chicken for clams or shrimp. Substitute the spinach leaves for diced tomatoes. I've also added spices such as basil, rosemary and oregano bringing a distinct Italian flavor to the dish.
