In this episode Billy and today’s guest Orit Tordjman speak about all things Kosher!
Billy asks Orit lots of questions about what it means to keep Kosher, the Jewish high holidays, Friday night (Shabbat) dinner, braiding Challah, and how food plays such a central role in Jewish families and their traditions.
Orit comes from a foodie family, she is a Clinical Director at an addiction rehab centre in Toronto, a wife, a mom, and such a nice lady! She will be launching her blog shortly, stay tuned to her Instagram. There will surely be some wonderful recipes!
Hanukkah is a celebration of oil lasting 8 nights in temple and to celebrate "We eat everything drenched in oil" Orit explains.
L'Chaim! A Hebrew toast meaning "to life"
Recipe shared by Orit:
Hrira soup
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion large, chopped
1/2 cup celery chopped finely
4 cups vegetable broth
2 cups chicken broth
1 bunch cilantro chopped
1 19 oz chickpeas canned, drained and rinsed
1.5 cup green lentils (dry)
1 28 oz crushed tomatoes canned
In small pot put lentils covered in water and let cook for 25-30 minutes
In a soup pot heat the oil
Add in the onions, carrots and celery. Mix until the onions are translucent (be careful not to burn)
Add in your spices at this point! Feel free to change up based on taste. Some like to add cinnamon (not to my taste)
Add in both chicken and veggie broth. (Vegan chicken broth can be used if you would like to keep the soup vegan/ vegetarian)
At this point- you can use an immersion blender to break apart the thicker pieces of vegetables. (If you like a creamier soup- add in a flour slurry)
Bring the soup to a boil.
Add in- cilantro, chickpeas, cooked lentils and crush tomatoes
Let the soup come to a boil again. Once boiled turn down the heat to medium and cook for about 25 min.
Taste to make sure that the lentils are cooked through. If not cooked- continue until lentils are ready.
Use fresh lemon to finish off the soup. Add until just the right amount of sour to your pallet
Option- if you would like to add meat- typically lamb
