Our Homestyle Chickpea Dumpling Soup and Simple Cabbage Salad is the perfect Hanukkah meal. Whip up the dumplings and simmer them in the base right before serving. A crisp cabbage side salad makes this one to remember. Bubbe would be proud!
“The boyfriend is being taken back to his youth eating Motza Ball soup with this recipe.”

Delicately flavored rice pilaf and dried apricots pair beautifully in the Stacked Jack Sandwich and Apricot Rice Pilaf. This mighty sandwich has roasted garlic aioli, brisket-spiced jackfruit and mushrooms, crisp lettuce, pickles, and onions piled high. Yum!

Our Israeli Rice & Lentil Casserole with Lemon Sour Cream and Zesty Broccoli is a mujadara-style casserole featuring seasoned rice, tender lentils, and loads of flavor. Topped with lemony sour cream and caramelized onions, it’s one you’ll make again and again. Simple, zesty broccoli is the perfect side dish.
Celebrate with Sweet Potato Latke with Roasted Garlic Aioli, Spiced Apple Pear Sauce and Chickpea Carrot Salad! Everyone will be raving about this contemporary Hanukkah-inspired meal. Sweet potato latkes are topped with luscious aioli, served with a sweet and cinnamon-y apple pear sauce and citrusy chickpea salad with raisins.
“Made this for a Sunday Brunch. I made the apple/pear sauce and roasted garlic aioli the night before and the the rest the morning of. These flavors are very complimentary to each other and made a perfect brunch dish. Definitely will make again.”

You’ll love our plant based twist on brisket. Brisket-spiced Jackfruit & Mushroom Stew and Pom-ocado Toast is full of all the brisket flavors you love. And avocado toast with pom seeds provides a unique, refreshing side dish.
