Nothing screams the Jewish holidays like Tzimmes. Here is a vegan Tzimmes for all the veggie lovers.
My mom is known far and wide for her brisket tzimmes. The recipe was handed down to her by my father’s late mom.
She has since perfected it and made it her own. And man is it good.
As a kid I remember the whole house smelling of cinnamon and syrup while the meat roasted.
Today there are so many vegetarians and vegans that don’t eat meat. So I figured why do they need to miss out on all the good stuff.
So I have whipped up a vegetarian version using carrots, yams, and apples.
It’s a yummy vegetable side dish to serve all year round.
