A Shabbat meal that perfectly concludes the summer
In two weeks, people are already talking about honey and pomegranates, big pots, and festive tables, so this Shabbat we want a light, worry-free summer meal: fresh corn ribs, a cabbage salad with a secret, one tray of wonderful roasted chicken and potatoes, and a small, sweet dessert.
Cabbage salad. How do you get a super crunchy cabbage salad? You treat it nicely. After slicing the cabbage into strips, salt it, massage it well with your hands, and let it rest. Then, drain the liquids, rinse the cabbage, and you get a blank slate that will accept everything with love. This small step will cause the cabbage to absorb flavors better and remain crunchy even after several hours on the table, without a drop of liquid. This recipe has a simple and tasty seasoning, just as it should be.
Roasted corn ribs. This has long been one of the trendiest dishes in restaurants, and it is really not complex to prepare at home. Cut fresh corn cobs into ribs and roast in the oven. We won't even ask you to boil them. The kernels pop and get charred spots, and when they come out of the oven, brush them with a mayonnaise sauce with mustard, lemon, and vinegar. The original version also includes grated parmesan, but you can simply skip it and still get a stunning dish.
Perfect roasted chicken. This is a recipe you cannot go wrong with; it is one of our most viewed and has never disappointed. On one tray, place chicken, potatoes, onions, and a whole head of garlic in a marinade whose list of ingredients (soy, teriyaki, honey, lemon, and hot pepper) lets you understand what a championship glaze will come out here. The garlic softens and breaks down into the sauce, the potatoes absorb the flavors, and the chicken is roasted to perfection. This is a simple, unpretentious, and winning dish, every single time.
Baklava roses filled with pecan and coconut. This dessert looks like it came from an elite bakery in Nazareth, and it is prepared from only 4 ingredients. Lightly brush filo dough sheets with oil, fill with chopped pecans, coconut, sugar, and cinnamon, and roll into small, beautiful roses that go into the pan side by side. After baking, the whole thing gets a sugar syrup that is absorbed inside and leaves the roses crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. You tell me if this isn't one of the desserts that will make the biggest impression on the table.
Have a pleasant Shabbat!
