1/2 cup cocoa powder 2 cups sugar 3/4 cup vegetable oil 5 eggs 1 cup matzoh meal 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 teaspoon salt Chopped nuts (optional)
1.5 recipe 3/4 cocoa 3 cups sugar 7 or 8 eggs 1.5 cup matza meal 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 and 1/4 cup choc chips, add after mixing Nuts
Preparation:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large mixing bowl, stirring well. Place batter in a lightly greased 13-x 9-inch baking pan. Bake at 325F for 20 to 25 minutes. Top with nuts, if desired.
First create a wet mixture. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until they look creamy. Add oil to the egg and sugar mixture. Then, add apple juice, almond, and vanilla extract to the mix.
Measure out the flour and the baking powder and mix them together in a separate mixing bowl, creating a dry mixture. Make sure the bowl is large enough to hold them.
Gradually mix the dry mixture in with the other ingredients until blended.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until the dough has an even consistency and a height of about ¼ of an inch.
Find a wide drinking glass or a circular cookie cutter of about three to four inches in diameter. Cut out circles from the dough, rolling the excess dough and cutting until no dough remains.
Add a small spoonful of your favorite filling to the center of each circle. I alternated between a combination of marzipan and slivered almonds and canned apricot preserves.
Pinch the circles into triangle shapes around the filling. Some of the filling should be exposed in the center. If the cookies are too dry to stick in the corners, try dabbing the outer circumference of the circle with water or a beaten egg and then pinching them again into the desired triangle shapes.
Lay the Hamantaschen on a parchment lined baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350°F.
Once the oven reaches 350, bake at for approximately ten minutes, or until golden brown on the outside.
Optional – drizzle with or dip into dark melted chocolate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

No matter how you modify this one-pot rice, it can’t help but simultaneously comfort and enliven: The rice is cooked with turmeric, black pepper and rich coconut milk, which is all brightened by a mix of coconut, sesame seeds and lime. The greens, which conveniently cook on top of the rice, can be swapped out for anything that steams in 10 minutes, such as frozen peas or edamame, green beans, broccoli, grated carrots or sliced fennel. While a meal all on its own, this rice would also be great accompanied by tofu, white fish, chicken thighs or stewed black beans. Prepared as written, this dish has a relatively pure, mild flavor, so if you want more oomph, add more turmeric and saffron and season with plenty of salt and pepper as you cook.

Add to Your Grocery List
PREPARATION
Rinse rice until water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
In a medium pot or Dutch oven, toast the coconut and sesame seeds over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. (Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.) Transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out the pot.
In the same pot, melt the coconut oil over medium-low. Add the scallion whites, turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring, until aromatic and lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the rice, coconut milk, saffron (if using), and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Fill the empty can of coconut milk with water and add it to the pot. Give the mixture a good stir to separate any lumps and bring to a boil over medium-high.
Once boiling, cover, turn the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
As rice cooks, remove and discard the tough stems of the leafy greens, if needed, and cut or tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. When the rice has cooked for 10 minutes, arrange the greens on top of the rice in an even layer and season well with salt and pepper. Cover, and cook until the rice is tender, 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes.
As rice rests, zest the lime and cut it into 4 wedges. Add 1/2 teaspoon zest to the coconut-sesame mixture, along with the scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Gently stir the greens into the rice using a spatula or fork, season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls. Sprinkle the coconut mixture on top and serve with a lime wedge for squeezing over.
