Correction to my previous post: for the spinach patties I add a tablespoon of oil to the mashed potatos.

Pumpkin soup
2kilo pumpkin cut into cubes (about 4 lbs)
Water to cover
3 onions chopped
oil for frying
4 teaspoons minced ginger or 1 tsp ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

In a big soup pot boil the pumpkin with the water for about 1 hour until soft. In a separate frying pan, fry onion, ginger, and garlic until onions are translucent. Add to the pumpkin in soup pot. Simmer for 20 minutes. Mash with an immersion blender. Add salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

You can garnish with pumpkin seeds but I don't like them. Instead I'm going to try cinnamon croutons.

1st night:
honey-wine salmon

lemon-strawberry freeze

can I please have these two recipes?

Honey wine salmon:
1 large salmon fillet (1.5-2 kilo. I used 7 pieces of salmon fillet)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup terriyaki sauce
1/4 cup semi-dry red wine (NOT sweet)
1/4 cup water
Mix sauce ingredients, pour over salmon. I baked it for 20 min. covered, and then grilled it uncovered for about 5 min.

Lemon-strawberry freeze
Strawberry mixture:
1 bag frozen strawberries
1 cup sugar
1 T. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla sugar
2 eggs
1 whip - not whipped
Blend all ingredients. Pour in 9x13 pan. Freeze

Lemon mixture:
1 whip
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup lemon juice
4 eggs
Whip up the whip. Add rest of ingredients. Pour over frozen strawberry mixture and freeze.

It's hot in terms of temperature (also spiciness if I use the hot paprika Wink

)

heat 1/2 cup oil.
add 4 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin and 1/3 teaspoon tumeric.
heat until aromatic (about a min - careful, it burns easily)
add 4 cloves garlic
add salmon pieces (you should salt these first - sprinkle salt on and then wash it off a minute later)
add 1 cup water
add 1 red pepper cut into strips and some fresh coriander
bring to the boil then simmer for approx 25 minutes until cooked.

if you want to make more than about 6 pieces of salmon then increase the amount of sauce by a half. you can also use other fish, e.g. trout, hake

thank you for this delicious recipe! I just finished making tilapia in this sauce. It smelled so good, I really wanted to eat it then and there.... but I'm saving it for yom tov!

This is the food I cooked for four meals:

Challah
Creamy Broccoli Kugel
Potato Zucchini Kugel
Brown and wild dill rice
Roasted Cauliflower
Green beans with caramelized onions
Peanut butter sesame noodles
Shepherd's pie
Chicken Tagine
Oven baked Shnitzel with spicy sauce
Chicken pot pie (made by a neighbor that's coming for a meal)
Peanut butter cheesecake
Plain cheesecake

The above food is going to be divided among the 4 meals. I doubled the amount of green beans, cauliflower, rice, and noodles, so they'll probably be served at two meals each.

I'll serve chummus, schug, corn salad, guacamole, and some type of lettuce salad at the meals.

by the way.... for those that made the sushi salad - or plan on it -
b4 I cut up the mock-crab sticks - I looked at the ingredients and saw that it was made from fish -
I DID not add it to the salad bc I was serving it DURING a meat meal.
the next time I make it - I will serve it along with the appitizers.
