Answer 1

1. Meat Stuffed Peppers

From Lisa Katz,
I love making these stuffed peppers when I have guests for the holidays. It looks like a fancy dish, but it is actually very easy to make. I also think they are delicious.
INGREDIENTS:

* 4-6 green peppers
* 1 pound lean ground beef
* 1 onion, grated
* 3 Tbsp uncooked rice
* 3 Tbsp water
* 1 egg
* 1-2 tsp salt
* 1/4 tsp black pepper
* Sauce
* 2 Tbsp oil
* 1 onion, chopped
* 20 oz can tomatoes (chopped if possible)
* 3 Tbsp lemon juice
* 3 Tbsp sugar

PREPARATION:
1. Cut a circle in the top of each pepper and pull out the seeds. Rinse and set aside.
2. In a bowl mix together the meat, grated onion, rice, egg, 1-2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
3. Stuff peppers with this mixture and place in a roasting pan.
4. In a saucepan, brown the chopped onion in the oil. Add all other ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Pour sauce over the peppers making sure that some of the sauce stays on top of the peppers.
6. Cover and bake 1 hour basting once or twice.
* Tastes even better when reheated.


2. Child-Pleasing Chicken Shnitzel

From Lisa Katz,
This is a sure-fire hit if you've invited children to your Sukkot meal. The key to good snitzel is pounding the chicken breasts so they are thin. Also, be careful not to overcook them so they stay moist. If possible, fry them just a few hours before the meal so they are fresh.
INGREDIENTS:

* boneless chicken breasts
* eggs
* bread crumbs seasoned with paprika, garlic, salt, pepper and parsley

PREPARATION:
1. Beat chicken to flatten.
2. Dip in eggs, and then dip in seasoned crumbs.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan.
4. Fry chicken in hot oil on both sides.


3. Israeli Salad

3 cucumbers
3 tomatoes
1 green pepper
3 green onions
olive oil
lemon juice
salt
zaatar (Israeli spice)

Chop the vegetables in small pieces. The secret to a really good Israeli salad is finely chopped vegetables. Immediately before serving, season with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and zaatar.


4. Pareve Ice Cream

1 carton pareve whipped cream (10 ounces)
4 egg yolks
1 package vanilla sugar
4 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
frozen mango juice, defrosted (optional)

Beat the whipped cream according to directions on the package. Blend in egg yolks and vanilla sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the whites. Blend in 1/4 cup sugar. Fold the whipped cream mix with the egg white mix. Defrosted frozen mango juice can be gently stirred into the mixture if a fruity taste is desired. Freeze.


5. Fruit Soup

2 pounds peaches
2 pounds plums
2 pounds apricots
1 pound sour cherries (fresh or canned)
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 cup cold water

1. Peel, pit, and cube fruit. Place fruit and sugar in a pot and cover with water. Cook over medium-low heat for 30-40 minutes, or until the fruit is soft.

2. Mix 1 Tbsp. cornstarch with 1 cup cold water. Add to soup. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes.

3. Cool, refrigerate, and serve cold.

Answer 2

Shabbat shalom! There are no actual traditional Sukkot foods. A lot of people keep it fairly simple if they're carrying things out to the sukkah. Also, a lot of people visit friend's sukkot for wine and cake rather than a full meal. I'm planning things like matzah ball soup, roasted chicken, veggie platters- for lunch simple sandwiches and fruit, etc.
Apples and honey are traditional for Rosh Ha Shana, symbolizing a "sweet" year.

Answer 3

Gefilte Fish
Pick;e Herring
Vegetable Salad
Fruit Salad

Desert

La Shana Tova

Answer 4

What about a nice honey cake? If you need to you can usually buy really lovely ones from the kosher bakeries, and honey cake is delicious!

For a main meal, how about chicken cooked with apricots and sultanas, with rice? I had that once at the home of some Israeli friends and it was gorgeous. One word of caution: I've noticed that a lot of men don't seem to like chicken when it's with sweet fruit, so you might want to run the idea past the menfolk first...!

Answer 5

First, the holiday is in basic terms called "Sukkot", no longer "the Sukkot". because one is obligated to stay and eat in the sukkah (that's what the hut is called), I recommend a superb bottle of wine for a meal.

Answer 6

You don't have to serve only apples and honey, mainly because it's more related to Rosh HaShana..
You can basically cook whatever you feel like.
In my family (for example) we start with some chicken soup and then just meat and salads and whatever.
There are no traditions in Sukot regarding food... but if you really want to go far with this, there is (for example) this Ashkenaz Jewish (for jews who came from east Europe) food called Gefilte fish.

you can find the instructions here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gefilte_fish

or:
http://www.chabad.org/library/article.htm/aid/93784/jewish/Recipes.html

The last one is a very useful site with TONS of Jewish and Israeli courses that can add something to your holiday. :)

Have fun!
Have a happy holiday!
And bete'avon! (bon appetit)
