Hanukkah Dinner
Hanukkah is a home-based Jewish
holiday season that starts from the 25th day of the Hebrew month, Kislev. The
eight days of religious observance is full of energy, with people lighting the
Menorah, chanting Hanukkah prayers and songs. Children take immense pleasure in
opening their small gifts received from the elder family members and eagerly
wait for the mouth-watering Hanukkah dinner to be cooked. Throughout the
season, the lip-smacking aroma of traditional Hanukkah foods fills the Jewish
kitchens.
Chanukkah dinner usually consists
of traditional Hanukkah dishes such as potato latkes served with traditional
applesauce and sour cream. Chanukkah dinner is usually started with some
latkes, fried savory snacks, or fritters. This is followed by serving roast
chicken or beef, fresh green beans flavored with garlic and thyme and tossed
with toasted almonds. The Hanukkah dinner is then wound up by serving desserts
such as donuts or blintzes. Tulip-shaped molded cookies, known as
"tuiles" can also be served as the dessert.
