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.
