Tsimmes

Tsimmes is a traditional Jewish stew typically made from sweet root vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and sometimes dried fruits such as apricots or prunes. Often flavored with spices like cinnamon or cloves, it can include meats like beef or chicken. The dish is slowly simmered, allowing the flavors to meld and the natural sweetness of the ingredients to intensify. Tsimmes is commonly served during Jewish holidays, especially Passover, and is appreciated for its comforting, hearty qualities that balance sweetness with savory richness.
