Healthy Jewish Cooking


List of Ingredients

3 tablespoons slivered almonds

3 tablespoons chopped walnuts

3 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds

2 sweet apples, such as Gala variety

Finely grated zest (colored portion of peel only) and juice of 1 lemon

8 pitted dates, finely chopped

1/4 cup honey, or to taste

1/4 cup red wine

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 to 4 tablespoons matzo meal




Recipe

In a medium skillet, roast nuts and sunflower seeds over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Peel, core and coarsely grate apples and place in a medium bowl. Stir in roasted nuts, lemon zest and juice, dates, honey, wine, cinnamon and 3 tablespoons matzo meal. Adjust the seasoning, adding lemon juice for tartness or honey for sweetness. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more matzo meal. Alternatively, the apples can be chopped and the haroset can be coarsely chopped in a food processor.
