Best 4 Sandys Tzimmes Recipes
Tzimmes is a traditional Jewish stew that is often served during the High Holidays. It is made with carrots, potatoes, and meat, and is typically seasoned with honey, cinnamon, and ginger. There are many different variations of tzimmes, but the most common ingredients are carrots, potatoes, onions, and meat. The meat is usually beef or chicken, but lamb or veal can also be used. Tzimmes is typically cooked in a slow cooker or oven, and is often served with a side of rice or noodles.
This article features two delicious tzimmes recipes: Sandy's Tzimmes and Passover Tzimmes. Sandy's Tzimmes is a classic recipe that uses beef chuck roast, carrots, potatoes, and onions. It is seasoned with honey, cinnamon, ginger, and paprika. Passover Tzimmes is a lighter version of the dish that is made with chicken broth instead of beef broth. It also uses matzo meal instead of flour, and is seasoned with lemon juice and fresh parsley. Both recipes are easy to follow and make a delicious and satisfying meal.

TSIMMES (BEEF, CARROT AND SWEET POTATO STEW)
Tsimmes is a medieval German Jewish holiday beef stew that spread with the Jews to Eastern Europe. It was originally made with carrots and turnips, then when potatoes came to the Old World, they were added. When the dish came to the New World, sweet potatoes often replaces the white potatoes. Now I've tweaked it to my taste: I substitute the yellow yams or sweet potatoes with the white Japanese sweet potatoes that I love. I use flanken, a cut of short ribs found at kosher butchers, but any cut of short ribs will do, as will beef stew meat. I keep the bones in for flavor - and add a bay leaf for the same reason - and, rather than skimming the fat as it cooks, I simply put the stew pot in the refrigerator overnight so I can easily remove the hardened fat the next day. (A generation or two before me, cooks would have saved that fat for cooking and baking.) Instead of adding a little matzo meal to thicken the broth, I find no need for that, especially if I reduce the sauce a little before serving. I add pitted prunes, which are sweet enough to eliminate the need for brown sugar or honey and, at the end, I add parsley for color.

Steps:
- A day before serving, heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Season the meat with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
- Put the meat and the bay leaf in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot, and add enough water to cover (about 8 cups). Bake, covered, for about an hour, then remove from heat, let cool and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, the fat will have congealed on top; using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the layer of fat.
- Add the sweet potatoes, onions, carrots and prunes to the meat, and stir to combine. Bake, covered, for another hour, then remove the lid and cook until the potatoes are cooked, the meat is tender and the water is reduced, another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Season to taste. If there is more broth than you'd like, ladle some out and save for another use. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.
