I make holiptsches (translation: stuffed cabbage) once each winter. For the past few years, they’ve been the main course for our Purim dinner. Last year, that dinner was at Jen and Louis’s apartment, and she and I made them together. This year, Michael and I were in the city on Purim (Thursday, March 1st). We came in the evening before and stayed for several days. We did get together with Jen and Louis but not for a Purim dinner. So, no hopliptches until…
Fast forward to yesterday. The kind of weather that just begs for hearty comfort food. And what’s a perfect hearty dish? Bobe Bopsy’s Holiptches, of course!
I put them together in the morning.
(Note: I made more cabbage rolls than I’d anticipated, so I added another can of tomato sauce to the pot.)
By mid-afternoon they were ready.
We began dinner with Vegetarian Chopped Liver, a favorite forshpeiz (that’s “appetizer” for the Yiddish impaired).
Then, the pièce de résistance! (How’s that for mixing languages?)
As usual, seriously yum!!
