Keeping kosher does not have to be complicated, and it can certainly be delicious! When planning a main meat meal (typically beef, chicken or lamb), the meat should be kosher cuts and not mixed with dairy (so no cheese, butter or cream). These kosher dinner ideas are perfect for Shabbat, Jewish holidays or busy weeknights.

"This recipe is better than I expected! I used chicken tenderloins and served it over angel hair pasta. To increase the amount of sauce I added a scoop of the pasta water and then a splash of white wine to sweeten the balsamic.

"This is a great recipe! It never occurred to me that I could oven fry chicken without any added oil or butter. The fat that was in the chicken skin did a terrific job."
-GailS2
"Brilliant recipe! I was given a tagine for my wedding and this came out perfectly. Instead of ground beef, I used sausage meat and added breadcrumbs to hold it together. The resulting meatballs were delicious."
