SWEET-POTATO TZIMMES

Vegetable and fruit casserole for Passover

The original version of this recipe came from the Jewish Holiday Cookbook, by Gloria Kaufer Greene. It benefits from being made ahead and then heated for the Seder.

Ingredients

(serves 8)

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 butternut squash, peeled and diced
4 tart apples, peeled, cored, and diced
250 g prunes, pitted and halved
100 ml water
100 ml sweet red Passover wine
60 g sugar
5 ml ground cinnamon
2 ml ground nutmeg
2 ml ground ginger

Procedure

Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well to distribute the liquid evenly.
Dump into a baking dish and seal the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and a lid.
Bake 1 hour at 175C Cool.
To serve, reheat, then empty into a serving dish. Don't serve it out of the pan you cooked it in (the movement into the serving dish squeezes juices out of the fruit).

Rating

Difficulty: easy.
Time: 10 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooking.
