TZIMMES
Introduction
The word “tzimmes” has passed into the Polish language as a term for something delicious, sweet. In Yiddish, it is associated more with a long process and complication. Originally, tzimmes was a “standalone” dish consisting of carrots, fruit and meat. Over time, the recipe began to change. Today, depending on the place of origin, it has a different composition. In Poland, the most popular is carrot tzimmes stewed with dried fruit, whereas in Lithuania tzimmes can be found with turnips. potatoes or plums.
