It begins. Rosh Hashanah 2024.

[Brett-EDH]

Hosting dinner two nights at our place.

Picked up the briskets for each night. Will prep and smoke these on Oct 2 and 3rd for dinner each night.

And will assemble a bunch of sides to go with this meal. Wish me luck. I’m about to do a whole lotta cooking.

 

[Steve Hoch]

Brisket is a great start, but it's your sides that I'm really looking forward to seeing!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Sounds amazing!!

I should have my menu dialed in tomorrow morning. Going to do some shopping in prep and start the sides after the Niners game.

Well, after the Bears and 49'ers finish losing I will be looking forward to seeing them.

I’m always impressed at your holiday dinners Brett! Looking forward to this one to be sure!

I didn’t even know what Rosh Hashanah was until Brett and now I look forward to it every year (except for the chicken livers)

 

[Brett-EDH]

Got this party going.

Hard boiled 50 eggs which will be used in the liver paté and a side of egg salad with dinner. No pics of the eggs, sorry.

Diced up 6 medium yellow onions and sautéed them for the liver and what will be kasha varnishkes. https://toriavey.com/kasha-varnishkes-kasha-and-bows/





Separated the onions for the two dishes and then sautéed the chicken livers for paté.



Coleslaw is sliced and in its marinade. 24 hours in its brine and then 24 hours mixed with mayo and some shredded carrots. No pics as we all know what coleslaw looks like

 

[Andy Kaminski]

Brett most of your holiday dishes are what I consider soul or comfort food.
I’m looking forward to see what else you are going to serve.

 

[Brett-EDH]

Chicken liver paté is made. Tomorrow I’ll cut in the hard boiled eggs to complete the dish.



I’ll round out the menu tomorrow and dial in my cook plan. I only have left Sept 30th, Oct 1 and a Oct 2 daytime as dinner starts Oct 2 evening.

I made the Chuck liver tonight for you! You’re going to have to try it one day. I’m telling you, it’s awesome. People actually request it.

 

[RichardWhitmill]

This is looking epic already. 50 hard boiled eggs!!!
Looking forward to the updates

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

I agree, chicken liver pâté is wonderful!

 

[Brett-EDH]

Liver paté is blended with 20 hard boiled eggs and mixed.

I scored, then cooked then peeled and deseeded around 14 Roma tomatoes.

Just the tomato meat remains along with pressed garlic. Peeled jalapeños will follow in a bit and I’m about to add some already roasted peppers. This will get slow simmered for 8 hours so all the flavors marry and the moisture is all but gone.





Fully concentrated and reduced.



And with 3 jalapeños in, this has some heat!

No, I’m not knocking, I’m just drooling!
