SWEET POTATO, CARROT AND DRIED FRUIT CASSEROLE
This dish is inspired by several tsimmes recipes in Joan Nathan's "Jewish Cooking in America." Tsimmes, a Yiddish word that means "fuss," doesn't have to be fussy at all. Sometimes the dish contains meat (and is fussier than this one), but sometimes it's just fruit and vegetables. Warning: You may find yourself eating this for breakfast.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the zest of two oranges into large strips (be sure to press down only hard enough to remove just the colored part of the skin, not the bitter white pith). Do the same with the lemon. Juice enough oranges to get 2 ½ cups juice. Cut carrots crosswise into 2-inch chunks or lengthwise into 2-inch pieces. Cut the sweet potatoes into large bite-size chunks. Cut shallots into quarters lengthwise. Snip dried fruit in half. Use a roasting pan large enough to accommodate all the vegetables in roughly a single layer (don't go crazy with this, just don't pile them too deeply). Place carrots, potatoes, shallots, dried fruit, and lemon and orange zests into pan. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour juice over all. Roast uncovered until vegetables are tender and browned in places, and the juice is mostly absorbed, about 1 ¼ hours. Turn the vegetables once or twice during the cooking time. If you want more juice in the finished dish, add another ½-1 cup juice during last 20 minutes of cooking time. The juices should thicken slightly. This dish may be made a day ahead and reheated in a 350-degree oven.
TZIMMES
No Rosh Hashanah celebration is complete without a serving of tzimmes, a dish of root vegetables and dried fruits. The fruit and honey in the mix symbolize the sweetness of the New Year. The carrots and sweet potatoes are cut into rounds to honor the tradition of hope for goodness and sweetness without end. This version of the classic dish gets a savory undertone from a full cup of vegetable broth, making it all the better to pair with a slice of brisket or roast chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and then add the carrots, sweet potatoes and onions. Sauté, stirring frequently, until lightly browned all over, about 8 minutes. Spread the vegetables evenly in a 9-by-13-inch casserole and tuck the ginger, apricots and prunes around the dish.
- Add the vegetable broth and honey to a small bowl and whisk together to combine. Pour over the fruits and vegetables, then submerge the cinnamon stick. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and braise for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the mixture and continue cooking (uncovered) until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is reduced and thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 30 minutes more.
- Break the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces, dot over the top and gently stir to coat the vegetable mixture in the reduced sauce. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and a light shake of cinnamon. Serve topped with mint and parsley.
TSIMMES (BEEF, CARROT AND SWEET POTATO STEW)
Tsimmes is a medieval German Jewish holiday beef stew that spread with the Jews to Eastern Europe. It was originally made with carrots and turnips, then when potatoes came to the Old World, they were added. When the dish came to the New World, sweet potatoes often replaces the white potatoes. Now I've tweaked it to my taste: I substitute the yellow yams or sweet potatoes with the white Japanese sweet potatoes that I love. I use flanken, a cut of short ribs found at kosher butchers, but any cut of short ribs will do, as will beef stew meat. I keep the bones in for flavor - and add a bay leaf for the same reason - and, rather than skimming the fat as it cooks, I simply put the stew pot in the refrigerator overnight so I can easily remove the hardened fat the next day. (A generation or two before me, cooks would have saved that fat for cooking and baking.) Instead of adding a little matzo meal to thicken the broth, I find no need for that, especially if I reduce the sauce a little before serving. I add pitted prunes, which are sweet enough to eliminate the need for brown sugar or honey and, at the end, I add parsley for color.

Steps:
- A day before serving, heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Season the meat with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
- Put the meat and the bay leaf in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot, and add enough water to cover (about 8 cups). Bake, covered, for about an hour, then remove from heat, let cool and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, the fat will have congealed on top; using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the layer of fat.
- Add the sweet potatoes, onions, carrots and prunes to the meat, and stir to combine. Bake, covered, for another hour, then remove the lid and cook until the potatoes are cooked, the meat is tender and the water is reduced, another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Season to taste. If there is more broth than you'd like, ladle some out and save for another use. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.
