5 New Jewish American Recipes from Recipe Rachel

Written by Behrman House Staff, 20 of May, 2014

May is Jewish-American heritage month and we have 5 new Jewish-American recipes to help you celebrate. 

Our favorite; Recipe Rachel from Get Cooking! A Jewish American Family Cookbook whipped up this list Jewish-American recipies:

Fraiche New Salad - Take the flavors of a bagel and lox and transform them into a lighter, more contemporary salad. 

Lite 'n Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Latkes - Reference to the Hanukkah traditon with these oven-baked latkes that are made with just a small amount of oil. Using New World ingredients like sweet potatoes gives this beloved holiday a meaninful twist. 

Salami & Eggs Fried Rice - This recipe fuses a beloved Jewish deli dish with an iconic Chinese-American favorite: fried rice. Re place the pork with small chinks of garlicky salami and the sauce is a concoction of soy sause and spicy brown mustard. 

Chocolate Cherry Bread Pudding - Use challah for this delicious dessert in reference to part of the ritual Friday night meal. Leftover challah is repurpsed into a sweet and sinfully yummy Southern-style chocolate bread pudding.

Six Layer Dip -  The Six Layer Dip is a take on the Mexican-American seven-layer dip. It is made by alternating layers of hummus--a cornerstone of Jewish-Israeli cuisine--with other savory flavors. This dip is also a perfect snack for the American Holiday of Superbowl Sunday.
