Ahh! I need help from a Jewish person?

Question

What should I serve with my knish (bread puffs with potato inside)?

I'm not Jewish but I want to know what would go well with it. I have a beef roast; should I try to cook it? Any good recipes? Should I make rice...or is that too much carbs?

Thanks a ton from a Muslim =D

Answer 1

Well pretty much anything you'd make with mashed potatoes you can make with a knish. A beef or chicken roast would be fine. No more starch, the knish already has potato and the breading. And a lot of Jews--at least from the east coast--eat their knish with some brown mustard.

I'm not Jewish, but I see nothing wrong w/ a good roast chicken!


Perfect Roast Chicken

1 (5 to 6 pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme, plus 20 sprigs
1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic, cut in half crosswise
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted
1 large yellow onion, thickly sliced
4 carrots cut into 2-inch chunks
1 bulb of fennel, tops removed, and cut into wedges
Olive oil

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.

Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

Answer 3

I'm a Messianic Jew, but I believe that it is Biblical to eat meat(Kosher or Halal) with dairy products. In Genesis in the 18th chapter we find Abraham feeding THE LORD, and the two angels that rescue Lot and his family from Sodom before God destroys it, BREAD-BUTTER-VEAL (CALF MEAT)- and milk, and Abraham stood by while he watched them eat! My question to the Rabbi's is if it's okay for the Lord then why do they prohibit it? I NEVER get a straight or good answer. My advice, with a beef roast, I'd stuff them with broccoli and a good cheese. If you were serving it to the Lord, I bet he'd love it.
