Traditional meets Tropical Salad, featuring Fullei Fresh Sprouts

April 11, 2022 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Fresh with spring produce, pretty as a blossom, this beet, fennel and citrus salad is suitable for both Easter and Passover. No, really. For 800 years, Ashkenazic Jews skipped seeds and beans at Passover, classifying them as kitniyot. That includes bean sprouts and tahini — sesame seed paste.

Cabbage and Caraway, Ukraine and Ireland, You and Me | Sunflower Slaw

March 21, 2022 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Sunflower slaw in large bowl is made with seeds from Ukraine's national flower.

Sunflowers are Ukraine’s national flower and this sunflower slaw recipe features both sunflower seeds and caraway. Cabbage gets a bad rep, but it’s a generous vegetable. I got a cute little head of cabbage to make St. Patrick’s Day bubble and squeak. Its densely furled leaves disguised just how much of it there was. Even…
