Rosh Hashana - Jewish New Year - Roti Lamb and Chicken Plus Ancient Eastern European Secret!!

Stlsportster · Sep 29, 2019

Happy New Year Brethren. Been cooking all day for family dinner tonight. A few traditions and a few new things. Hang on for the ride. This first part is phot heavy.

Started with Chicken Stock for the Matzo Ball soup. Plus 48 matzo balls. We provide soup for both nights. My wife makes the best.

I’m in charge of dinner.

First the leg o lamb needs a marinate. Olive oil, onion powder, garlic cloves, lemon juice and zest, thyme. A little rest after I slather the inside and trussed it back up.

Light trim

Chicken in plowboys yardbird and BPS Money. On the roti.

After a 30 min head start. Lamb on too.

Now. Gotta go check on it. Back in a second with more progress.

Now. Ancient Eastern European secret. When butter got too expensive in the ghettos they made due with chicken fat, rendered with onions. The renedered product called schmaltz. And the leftover skin called Grivens. Or Gribenes

Add a little salt and it’s a great snack.

Thankfully, you now have the time to devote to intense meals like that, and as my wife would add, to clean up as well:thumb:
The best to you and your family.

Schmaltz potatoes you say?

Roasted cauliflower too.

Lamb pulled at 140ish and resting. Chx still on.

And the rest.

My 75yr old mom teaches my 15yr old son it’s ok to drink soup from the bowl if you lift pinky’s.

And yes, I get the irony that I’m the same guy who posted the heart stopping BACONLT sandwich yesterday.

La Shana Tova Brethren.

Love it. I especially love the "digitally enhanced" lessons from your Mom.

You folks ate incredibly well.

A thought for you for next time you do lamb - something we learned from friends in the UK.... Anchovies On Lamb - It's not going to taste fishy, but it'll seriously enhance the overall flavor. I cringed and questioned, too. Trust me. Run that through Google.

Shana Tov Joel. Thanks. I love your mom, she is precious.

.

She’s an old CINChouse too, and I’m an Army brat. My dad was a 1st Lt. Signal Corp, stationed in Radford, VA in an underground Data Center the first 3 yrs of my life.

She’s taught me many things and this was only one lesson she’s passed down to mine too.

I don't know... Looks like he still needs practice lifting those pinky's. :laugh:

I love posts about family traditions, very cool!

So when something is "schmaltzy," it is an imitation or fake. I wondered where the term came from.

Your meal looks so delicious! Have a happy Rosh Hashana!
