We can no longer ignore the date on the calendar. Rosh Hashanah is coming up quickly, and we’ve got a lot of planning to do.

Today we’re starting with the star of the show, Mains, to help you get started with the holiday cooking.

So, what should you serve at such a special meal? Some of our top picks include Sweet Tzimmes Chicken, Maple Mustard Beef Ribs, and Red Wine Veal Roast, just to name a few.

We’ve also got fish and plant-based recipes for those who don’t eat red meat or chicken.

Take a look at our insanely delicious main dish ideas below and start your cooking this week to avoid the last-minute rush. Most of the meat dishes below can be frozen ahead. If you plan on freezing any of them, be sure to take a look at our freezer tips HERE.
