I serve this year round not just for Rosh Hashanah. It’s a great side dish recipe especially for beet lovers like me.
2 bunches, medium beets
12 shallots, peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ dry red wine
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel the beets and cut each one into 8 chunks. Mix the beets and shallots together in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Toss the olive oil and red wine and season with salt and pepper. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the beets are just tender, about 1 ¼ hours.
Stir in the brown sugar and red wine vinegar. Bake uncovered stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender and glazed with the sauce, about 15 to 20 minutes more.

Spicy arugula with sweet oranges, what a nice combination of sweet and savory. I always like salad recipes with that contrast.
2 large fresh fennel bulbs, trimmed, each cut vertically into 12 wedges with some core attached
6 fresh thyme sprigs
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 oranges, all peel and white pith cut away, halved vertically, thinly sliced crosswise
2 (5-ounce) packages baby arugula
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine fennel wedges, thyme, and 4 tablespoons oil in large bowl; toss to coat. Arrange fennel, cut side down, on large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until fennel is tender and brown, turning once, about 40 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs. This can be prepared ahead of time and stored. Use at room temperature.
Whisk vinegar, mustard, and 2 tablespoons oil in large bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Add fennel, orange slices, and arugula. Toss to coat. Transfer salad to large shallow bowl.
I love arugula in salads. If you do too, try another one, like this Boston Lettuce and Arugula Salad with Tangerines.

I love this chicken dish. In fact chicken with wine, mushrooms and onions is my favorite combination. Make it for Yom Tov or for any time of the year. It’s a great chicken recipe.
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 (4 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup minced shallots
1 pound fresh morel mushrooms, sliced
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup low-salt chicken stock
½ cup pareve whipping cream (soymilk can be used but it will not thicken as well)
Melt 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil to skillet. Add shallots and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until they begin to release liquid, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a plate. Add wine to skillet and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil. Return chicken to a skillet, cover with lid slightly ajar, reduce heat to a medium-low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter. Return mushrooms to a skillet; add pareve cream. Simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

Bundt cakes are great to have around for guests as dessert, to serve with coffee in the morning or as an extra sweet snack. This one is quick and easy and has an unrecognizable ingredient that adds spice, sweet and richness to the taste.
1 stick unsalted margarine, plus more for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2-1/2 cups root beer
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch
3 large eggs, beaten
2-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan; tap out the excess flour.
Heat 2 cups root beer, the cocoa powder, chocolate and 1 stick margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat until the margarine melts. Add the granulated and brown sugars and whisk until dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Combine 2 cups flour, the baking soda, allspice and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Whisk the eggs into the root beer mixture, then gently fold in the dry ingredients (the batter will be slightly lumpy).
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour, rotating the pan halfway through. Transfer to a rack. Gently poke the cake all over with a skewer and pour 1/4 cup root beer over the cake; let cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving plate and let cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup root beer, a pinch of salt, the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cake.

Hanger steak is very easy to prepare on the grill or in the grill pan and cooks very quickly. It is extra tasty with a sauce like the green-garlic sauce and is also great on a salad.
2 hanger steaks or 1 skirt steak (1 1/2 pounds total)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons margarine, divided
1 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Sprinkle steaks with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add steaks and cook, turning once, until medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil.
Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon margarine to pan. Add greenonions and garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in broth, wine, and vinegar and cook, stirring to release browned bits, until reduced by two-thirds. Remove from heat and stir in remaining margarine. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and serve with sliced steak. Great warm or serve at room temperature.

This is a classic lamb dish. Rosemary, garlic and mustard pair very well with lamb and are natural flavor enhancers. I like to serve lamb for special occasion meals like Rosh Hashannah or Succot. I serve it with flowered roasted potatoes. This dish is grilled but an indoor grill pan works well too.
1 well-trimmed 4-pound piece of lamb, butterflied to even 2-inch thickness (ask the butcher to butterfly it for you).
8 garlic cloves, peeled, divided
1/2 cup whole grain Dijon mustard
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Fresh rosemary sprigs and fresh Italian parsley sprigs
Open lamb like book on work surface. Using tip of small knife, make 1/2-inch-deep slits all over lamb. Thinly slice 4 garlic cloves. Insert garlic slices into slits in lamb. Combine remaining 4 garlic cloves, mustard, olive oil, white wine, rosemary, and lemon juice in processor. Blend until coarse puree forms. Spread underside of lamb with half of puree. Place lamb, seasoned side down, in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Spread remaining puree over top of lamb. Cover lamb with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
Let lamb stand at room temperature 2 hours. Coat grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or grill pan. Sprinkle lamb generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill lamb to desired doneness, about 17 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to cutting board; let rest 10 to 20 minutes.
Thinly slice lamb against grain. Overlap slices on platter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs.
