Shabbat Meals

From Baghdad, with love.

This simple, cozy stew is made with lamb or beef and whole chestnuts.

Ghiveci or guvech is a comforting, rustic dish.

A dish that’s simultaneously homey and elegant.

This multi-layered flat bread can either be fried in a skillet or baked in a clay oven.

Rich, chewy and caramelized, there’s no better Shabbat breakfast.

This has a subtle sour flavor and all the benefits of fermentation.

Herbaceous and hearty, this is a dish to enjoy year-round.

It's like a Jewish version of chicken and dumplings.

Tuck into these comforting chicken meatballs simmered in a golden, spiced broth.

This slow roasted method ensures super moist chicken and crispy skin.

Slow-cooked stews are a staple of Jewish cuisine because they are delicious, and serve an important purpose too.
