Purim RecipesMuch of Purim is focused on food from mishloach manot to the Purim seuda. Purim is a joyous holiday, a celebration of the salvation of the physical existence of the Jewish people and is traditionally celebrated with food and wine. Purim recipes are full of symbolism; from the "hamentaschen" (triangular shaped pastries) we eat which are said to resemble Haman's ears to the meat-filled dumplings in the soup (to represent the hidden face of G-d in the story of Purim), and special Purim challa.
Traditional Purim foods include hamentaschen (called oznei haman or Haman's ears in Hebrew) which are made of pastry filled with any number of fillings. The most traditional is a poppy seed paste, but other fillings include fruit jams and butters as well as chocolate.Another Purim tradition is to eat meat wrapped in pastry – this can be in the form of kreplach in the soup, meat pie or meat blinces. As well as ideas for Purim seuda menus, here are some suggestions for things you might like to make and add to your Purim mishloach manot, as well as some ideas for light meals to break your fast.
