Did you know it’s a mitzvah to eat well before the Yom Kippur fast? Kreplach (Ashkenazic traditional stuffed noodle dumplings) are a delicious addition to the pre-fast meal.
This year, Yom Kippur starts on Friday evening the 17th of September, and lasts till Shabbat is over on Saturday night. Although the fast falls on Shabbat, folks must still cook in advance – not only the pot of something for the little ones, but a meal rich in carbs, light protein, and fluids, to eat before the fast. Fruit and veg are important, like our butternut squash stuffed with quinoa. And the traditional pre-fast soup with kreplach supplies a good part of the nutrition a body needs to get through the next 25 hours.
This recipe calls for chicken-filled dumplings served in chicken broth. But vegetarians can enjoy kreplach soup by using any savory filling (such as sauteed tofu, mashed potatoes, and mushrooms seasoned with fried onion) and a hearty vegetable-based soup. Vegetarians and carnivores both enjoy supplementing the soup with a light, yet high-protein dish like our Majadra recipe.
