Fassoulyeh b’Chuderah
The fesitval of Purim, celebrated by Jewish cultures across the globe from the evening of Monday, March 6th through the evening of Tuesday, March 7th, is a joyful holiday with many food-related traditions, including giving gifts of food and drink to family and friends and eating triangular-shaped hamantaschen. But beyond these better-known customs lies one with a lower profile, the eating of beans. This warm, fragrant bean recipe, adapted from Jennifer Abadi’s A Fistful of Lentils, falls somewhere between a soup and a stew. It’s vegetarian, deeply satisfying, and draws on common pantry staples — many of which are featured in our Weekly Sale from March 2nd – 8th!
