Haman Holipches Stuffed Leeks

What are Haman holipches you ask? Good question! Traditional holipches refers to stuffed cabbage – one of my favorite traditional foods growing up, but this version uses leeks instead of cabbage, and they’re wrapped up in the same style of samosas, to form a perfect triangle – just the thing for Purim! (watch the Instagram reel to see how it’s done!).

I’m a huge fan of leeks (it’s my favorite part of the chicken soup!), so when I saw some variations on this recipe on Instagram, I knew I had to jump on the trend and create my own version, inspired by some Persian flavors including apricot and mint.

These Purim pockets honor the tradition of eating kreplach during the holiday, because their hidden filling symbolizes the hidden nature of the Purim miracle. Kind of like why we eat hamantaschen too!

Salami Wellington

It’s amazing how I’ve been trashing up salami here for Purim on the blog for 12 years now and I still get so excited about it. AND I still, somehow, come up with new and exciting ideas! This year is probably my favorite because I’ve ALWAYS wanted to make beef wellington and I couldn’t believe just how awesome it turned out! Yes, it’s a bit of a patchke, but it’s so beautiful to serve, especially for your Purim meal!

Why have I been trashing up salami for 12 years now? I started the trend on my blog years ago for Purim since salami is hung like Haman was hung on the gallows! My drunken hasselback salami went crazy viral, as did my salami babka a few years later! I hope you love this one as much as I do!

Happy Purim!

Hot Honey Hasselback Salami

Do I ever tire of hasselbacking salami? No, I do not. And I feel the same way about building boards – it’s the perfect game day, or really any day, snack! So I couldn’t resist a few flavor combo, with a condiment that’s all the rage – HOT HONEY. Plus, you know how I feel about alliteration! HOT. HONEY. HASSELBACK. Yes please!!

Umami Mommy Chicken

What is Umami Mommy chicken you ask? Well lets just say I love alliteration, for starters. But I call it mommy chicken because it’s that quick and easy sheet pan potato-and-chicken bake that every mom loves to throw together to get dinner on the table fast. The umami part? That’s thanks to the grated tomato, garlic and onion soup mix that gets slathered all over the chicken – it turns into this savory jammy and sticky topping that’s just finger-lickin-good! I threw this dinner together quickly when I had some mushy tomatoes on hand that were too soft for salad (nothing worse than mealy winter tomatoes!) and I’m hooked! I hope you will be too!
