Savory Hamentaschen

Hamentaschen are a traditional Eastern European Jewish sweet triangular cookie made for the holiday of Purim.

This year, with the help of some friends, we decided to make savory tasch. Sort of like triangular empanadas or knishes.





For the dough:

• I used the knish dough recipe from my favorite cookbook, Olive Trees and Honey (the Ashkenazic Oil Pastry Dough on p. 154)

Fillings:

• finely chopped onions, caramelized
• finely chopped mushrooms- sauteed, with a touch of marjoram
• defrosted frozen spinach, drained
• curried eggplant with tomatoes
• minced garlic, sauteed

Cut the dough into circles, fill with small amounts of filling, and bake for 12-14 min on 350.

Mix and match fillings.
