Calabacitas means little squash, but with big rewards. This recipe from Mexico lets zucchini have some fun with tomato, onion, chile and spices.  Calabacitas is quick, easy, affordable, versatile and fun to say.

Traditional Meets Tropical — and Everybody Wins

April 3, 2023 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Fresh with spring produce, stylin’ with sprouts and pretty as a blossom, this beet, fennel and citrus tropical salad is suitable for both Easter and Passover. It wasn’t always thus. For 800 years, Ashkenazic Jews skipped seeds and beans at Passover, classifying them as kitniyot. That includes bean sprouts and tahini — sesame seed paste. …

Mushroom Etouffee in a bowl.

It’s time to party!  Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, is tomorrow, so get your wild on before Ash Wednesday kicks off 40 days of Lenten abstinence. Let the good times roll and make yourself some mushroom étouffée. Mushroom étouffée sounds fancy, fussy, and French.  It’s two out of three — fancy enough to dazzle guests, but…
