Shabbat Menu - Grilled Marinated London Broil

Even Manna get's boring. In this week’s parsha, the false memory of an Egyptian bounty of fish, cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions and garlic leads the people to beg for meat instead of manna. ...

Recipe

Spicy Nut Truffle

For nut lovers only: the famous Pfeffernusse, Sephardi style. Perfect for Passover and gluten-free without even trying. Don’t try to bake them on a disposable cookie sheet, or the bottoms will burn.

Times

Prep Time : 20 min
Cook Time : 15 min
Ready Time : 35 min

Servings

Ingredients

1 2/3 cups Klein’s Naturals unblanched almonds
1 2/3 cups Klein’s Naturals walnuts
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking powder
Good pinch salt
1 egg, or a little more
Powdered sugar, sifted (do not skip the sifting)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a food processor, place all ingredients, except the egg, and grind until you obtain a finely ground but still textured mixture. Do not grind finer or you will get a greasy mixture. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the egg and mix by hand until the mixture is smooth and malleable, adding just a little more egg if necessary. Shape the mixture into little balls. Pour powdered sugar over the balls (as opposed to rolling them into the sugar, which might make them look greasy), shaking off the excess sugar. Place the balls on a real cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 15 minutes, not a second longer. The truffles will look cracked all over. Let the truffles cool completely before storing in an airtight tin.
