Sir brachot, also known as a pot of blessings, are Sephardic brachot/blessings eaten on Erev Rosh Hashanah, and serving them this way is easy and super tasty too. Read more about the simanim of Rosh Hashanah here.

Ingredients

Sir Brachot

  • about 3 cups of butternut squash (or any gourd of your choice), cut into large chunks

  • 2 leeks, cleaned and trimmed

  • about 5 carrots, cut into long strips

  • beet greens (the tops) from 1 bunch of beets

  • about 12 to 15 Chinese long beans

  • 1 strand of fresh dates

  • Tuscanini Olive Oil for the bottom of the pot

  • pomegranate seeds, for garnish

Sauce

Directions

1.

Peel, wash, and cut your vegetables.

2.

In a round pot (keep in mind when selecting a size that the vegetables will shrink a lot), drizzle some olive oil. Place your vegetables side by side. Spiral the long beans and place in the center. Top with the strand of dates. Cook on a low flame to release water.

3.

In the meantime, prepare your sauce. Combine all the ingredients and mix. Pour directly over your brachot and continue to cook covered on a low flame for about 30 minutes. Optionally, place the pot in a 350-degree-Fahrenheit oven for 15 minutes to brown the top. Drizzle some more date syrup on top and sprinkle pomegranate seeds. Best served fresh. I wouldn’t recommend freezing.
