Sukkot Recipes

I love Sukkot, a time to enjoy the beautiful bounty of the fall harvest and a great excuse for a picnice outside! Whether you have your own sukkah, you're celebrating in someone else's sukkah or you're just looking for some great new fall recipes, try these out. It's traditional to eat lots of fruits and veggies during Sukkot, and especially "stuffed" foods to symbolize our harvest bounty.

"Chorizo" Stuffed Acorn Squash and Salad

Adapted from a
 Recipe

Ingredients

 

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 450° F. Place the squash halves cut-side down in a baking dish, add ¼ inch water, cover with foil, and bake until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, cook the bulgur according to the package directions. In a medium bowl, combine the bulgur, manchego, chorizo, parsley, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

  3. Turn the squash halves cut-side up and, dividing evenly, fill with the bulgur mixture. Bake until the filling is warmed through and the manchego is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.

  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the lettuce and toss to combine. Serve with the squash.

Stuffed Apples

From The Nosher

 

Ingredients

5 large apples (whichever variety you prefer)

1/2 tsp allspice

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup of crushed walnuts

1/2 cup of almond milk

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup of instant oatmeal

1/4 cup of craisins

1 1/2 Tbsp unsalted margarine cut into five small cubes

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and boil 1 1/2 cups of water.

Place a small pan over a medium heat and toast your spices and nuts. Toast until they become fragrant, around 3-5 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

This shouldn’t take more than five minutes. Keep an eye on them while you continue with the recipe to prevent them from burning.

While you wait for you ingredients to toast, cut off the top of your apple.

You should cut off about 1/4 inch off the top, enough that it isn’t a wobbly thin slice of apple but a sturdy "hat" you can easily place back on top of your apple later.

Remove the center of your apples creating a hollow circle in the middle of your apple with an inch or so diameter. You can use an apple corer to help you remove the center of your apple. If you don't have an apple corer you can also using a paring knife or any small sharp knife.

Remember the hollowed core of you apple doesn’t have to be a perfect circle as long as you remove all the pits your apple is perfect.

Once your spices and nuts are fragrant, add the almond milk and honey and continue to heat.

Once your almond milk mixture is hot but not bubbling, stir in the oatmeal and craisins.

Cook the oatmeal stuffing for a few more minutes, until most of your almond milk has been absorbed, stirring every few minutes.

Fill your apples with approximately 1 1/2 Tbsp of filling so that they are entirely filled.

Place your apples into a small baking dish.

Put a single piece of margarine on top of each apple's filling and then the top of each apple in order to "seal" the apple closed.

Pour the 1 1/2 cups of boiling water into the baking dish along with the apples.

Cover your baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Bake your apples for 30-40 minutes while basting their stuffing with the cooking water every 10-15 minutes.

They are ready when the apples' stuffing is hot and the apples are soft but not mushy.
