Basics: Pickled Red Onions
Pickled Red Onions are your trusted topping for sandwiches, toasts, and tacos during the year, and on our Matzah Meat Pizza right now. These pickles have been a staple on Between Carpools, ever since we first featured them in Dinner Done. Originally shared by Fleishig Magazine editor Shifra Klein, we used them to top the…
Easy Homemade Tomato Jam
Savory and sweet, this jam is delicious on matzah or sourdough. After having tomato jam at a restaurant a few years ago, I was hooked. And when I came across the recipe for Tomato Jam Salmon in Adeena Sussman’s Shabbat cookbook, it became a family favorite. That recipe calls for some ingredients that we don’t…
Homemade Tomato Sauce
When using minimal ingredients on Pesach, tomato sauce can be a great way to add flavor. Pesach is a time when we get creative in the kitchen. For those who use minimal or no processed products, it’s also a time when we appreciate the year-round conveniences of canned tomato sauce and tomato paste, and store-bought…

Add This Classic Pickle Dip to your Shabbos Meal

Sesame Dip
With lots of sesame flavor, this sesame dip will be your go-to with challah. Sesame dip used to be one of those I would buy weekly. One day, while standing in the aisle of the grocery, I thought to myself, “This is just sesame seeds and mayo–why am I buying it? Why don’t I just…
