It's funny that my very favourite Jewish meals are really, based on Wikipedia. "various sausages of Eastern European origin produced by stuffing intestine (derma) with meat, bloodstream (frequently) along with a grain."
With the exception that the version I increased track of is vegetarian, and until yesterday, I believed it was the actual factor. My Bubbi continues to be making kishka (well, mock kishka) since i have would be a wee one and it is still the best Jewish comfort food. When I was copying lower the recipe from her yesterday, I observed the "mock" within the title making a mental note to find information about exactly what the original dish was.
My Bubbi's version is much tastier, I promise.*
I have observed lots of vegetarian dishes in Jewish cooking, that we guess is party because of nutritional laws and regulations, as well as partially because of knowing steps to make the food budget stretch. In either case, I am grateful!
As I was ogling the kishka recipe, I copied lower a recipe for yams kugel and found that kugel dishes don't always have to contain noodles. News in my experience! Jewish foods appear to work best with Canadian winters, simply because they consume lots of winter veggies, so I am collecting some favourites for that vault. Based on my Bubbi, you could make latkes with almost any vegetable, including carrots and broccoli. Another must try.
I guess it will help that my BH adores Jewish food greater than anybody I have ever met, therefore the more recipes the greater around here.
*Actually, because everybody should love this particular tasty dish, I'll share it along with you.
Etta's Mock Kishka
1/4 cup melted margarine
12 oz. package of Ritz cracker crumbs - roughly 3 1/2 cups (Bubbi states not one other crackers is going to do)
2 medium onions
2 carrots, peeled
1 stalk celery
pepper and salt to taste
Crush crackers within the mixer remove and hang aside.
Process veggies until minced.
Add crumbs and margarine to veggie mixture process.
Form mixture into three rolls and wrap tightly in foil (you are essentially making logs)
Bake foil logs on the cookie sheet at 350 F for 45 to 50 minutes.
It appears that somebody loved kishka a lot they authored an audio lesson about this. From Wiki:
"Who Stole the Kishka? " (initially typed "Who Stole the Keeshka?") is really a traditional polka tune, composed within the 1950s by Walter Solek and recorded and performed by various bands. A very common version was familiar to American radio audiences from the 1963 recording by Grammy award-winning polka artist Frankie Yankovic. Part of the song includes three of numerous lyrics getting related to Polish foods, based on who performs the song:
You could have my shinka
Take my sweet koscheeke
Take my plump perogi
You may also have my chernika
Take my lengthy kielbasa
The verse ends using the pleading refrain "but please restore my kishka."
