Mar 26, 2025 | Blog, Kosher Recipes, Uncategorized

Normally a recipe that is well and truly treif, can be converted to glatt kosher by changing around a few items. With this particular dish I have had to completely start from scratch.

Not easy but here goes.

Ingredients:

For 10 rolls.

  • 1 lb of cooked Osso Bucco, shredded.
  • 1 head red leaf lettuce
  • ½ bunch mint
  • ½ bunch of chives
  • ½ pack dried spring roll wrapper (rice paper)
  • 1/3 pack dried rice noodles.
  • Peanut dipping sauce
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 8 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2-3 tbsp peanut butter
  • ½ cup water
  • Some ground peanuts

Method:

  • Cook the rice noodles according to the package. Drain and cool under cold water.
  • All the vegetables should cleaned and chopped.
  • Soak the rice paper according to instructions on the packet.
  • Lay the rice paper on a tabletop and place some rice noodles at the bottom.
  • Add lettuce then vegetables, not too much on each wrapper.
  • Add the shredded Osso Bucco
  • Fold the left and right sides of the rice paper towards the center.
  • Lay some chives lengthwise with one poking out. Then fold the bottom to cover the noodles. Keep the roll tight, so squeeze lightly as you roll.
  • Continue to roll upwards to complete the spring roll.
  • Peanut Dipping Sauce
  • In a pan, over medium heat, sauté 2 tbsp of minced garlic in a little oil.
  • Add the hoisin sauce and the peanut butter, the water and mix thoroughly.
  • Bring to the boil and then immediately turn off the heat. Pour into suitable dipping bowls. Sprinkle some ground peanuts on each dipping bowls.

Enjoy

Our experience was unique in that we were able to tour a lot of territory and a variety of places with minimal inconvenience. The fact that our boat was always with us and there were no long bus rides or waits made this mode of travel extremely enjoyable.
