Throughout history, the Jewish people have thrived and endured in various nations around the world. From these different fonts of heritage also come different culinary traditions–dishes served during the Sabbat and celebratory meals prepared on holidays like Pesach. While a lot of these fascinating cultural cuisines can be savored in luxurious kosher resorts, you too can make them at home. Here are a few interesting cultural Jewish dishes for you to try.

Meaty Alheira Alheira is a fascinating Portugese sausage delicacy–one borne of necessity in a time of persecution. When the Portugese Inquisition was in full swing, the various crypto-Jews of Portugal obscured their Jewish faith and pretended to be converted Christians. To prevent suspicion, they hung alheiras, bread and poultry-based sausages, outside their houses, tricking passing Inquisitors that their household ate pork. For a traditional kosher Portugese sausage, savor this Meaty Alheira. Delicious Dafina If you ever go on Glatt Kosher holidays in the future, why not savor variants of Jewish cuisine that you haven’t tried before? Cholent is a traditional Shabbat meal, slow-cooked and served as stew by generations of Jews around the world. Dafina (from the Arabic word for “covered”) is a kind of North African variant of Cholent, coming from the diaspora settling in Morocco–possibly after the expulsion from Iberia.
