This is my version of Tsimmes--a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish dish of stewed vegetables and dried fruits. It has sweet overtones to evoke a Sweet New Year. "Tsimmes" is Yiddish for "fuss". This Tsimmes comes together quickly and is not too "fussy".
I first made these in 2016 when Kosher for Passover almond and praline paste were available. If they are not available this Passover you may want to make your own almond paste--you can find a simple recipe online with only 4 ingredients--all kosher for Passover. Or, you can check with your kosher for Passover bakery--they [...]

They are gluten-free and, if you omit the chocolate chips and nuts in the recipe, they are fat free as well. They [...]

Love potatoes? Tired of the same-old same-old Passover potato recipes? You will love these trompe l’oeil potato brioches.
