Hi, I need help planning my Purim Seudah menu. Doesn't need to be too fancy because I am hosting a bunch of teenagers, DHs talmidim.
If anyone could please post their menus, I would really appreciate it, TIA

Green Salad - Lettuce, green pepper, celery, snowpeas, cucumbers, and spring onion and baby spinach leaves

Greek Dressing - lemon juice (freshly squeezed) and oil 1.5 times the amount of the lemon juice, fresh garlic (or garlic powder) 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, oregano and basil BLEND together

Spicy potato Wedges - Mix oil with tumeric, paprika, slat and mixed herbs and cumin and drizzle generously over potato wedges, cook uncovered in oven until nice and crispy

Beef strip stir fry -

I put the beef strips in the wok on top of a little oil, and toss a bit and add soy honey and garlic powder, then toss around till 3/4 cooked.

Then I add stripped carrots, red and green pepper, baby corn, snowpeas and stripped bok choi

Keep tossing till vegies are semi soft, you dont want them to become mush and serve - I make this right before serving otherwise vegies can get limp, it doesn't take long to cook and it is absolutely heavenly!!

I have my husband's DRUNK talmidim over and I find they only eat what they can with their hands. So I try to do finger foods. Not sure what yet but I found soups and salads never went.
Some ideas...

franks in blanks
knishes (can do potato/meat)
fire poppers
corned beef
mini shnitzels
everything I do in miniatures-
Ex. apple kugel will do in cupcake holders
pastrami cupcakes
carrot muffins
doughless potato knish in muffin tins
salt and pepper kugel in muffin tins
also I only put a little out on the table and as I need more I refill. Nothing that is on the table can come back into the kitchen!

Happy Purim!

Anyone serving kreplach/stuffed cabbage?

Posted: Sun, Mar 04 2012, 7:04 am Post subject: re: Purim Seudah menus please!

I have kreplach in the freezer, but really don't want to serve soup. We'll what will be. Otherwise, it's a small seudah. So far just DH, me and my 21 month old. It will be mostly things from my freezer - but good thiiingIt's also erev Shabbos here, and DH needs to leave the house after the seudah at around 10:30...
We will have good salmon, a few kinds of salads and dips, meat roast in gravy, noodles and cabbage, ice cram roll for dessert. I guess some soup - maybe Shabbos soup for the kreplach.
