Rosh Hashana

[GB]

I posted this under the general questions and chat board and then realized I should have put it here instead...

I need to make a vegetable dish for Rosh Hashana on Wed. I have had so much going on this week that I have not had time to figure out what I am bringing. What are your tried and true dishes that you like to bring? I need to make this for about 25 people, so as inexpensive as possible would be great. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

how about...

Crisped Parsnips
From Food and Drink Magazine.
8 servings


1 lb parsnip, peeled
1/2 cup milk (or soy milk)
1/2 cup flour (for dredging)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 cup olive oil

Peel parsnips and cut into pieces that are 1/2 in. thick and 4 in. long.
Steam or boil for 5-8 mins. or until crisp tender. Cool.
Toss in milk to coat and drain.
Season flour with salt, pepper, and curry powder and roll parsnips in it, tapping off excess flour.
Heat oil over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, add pasnips and saute, turning frequently, until brown and crispy.

*can reheat on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 350 degrees if necessary.

Good Luck!
