ISRAELI STYLE SAVORY HAMANTASCHEN – Favorite Purim holiday treat but in savory!
Purim is probably the most fun holidays with all the celebration, the food and drink but also the costumes!
What I love about Purim is the exchange of mishloach manot. I always try to make mine homemade and fill them with lots of goodies. I make them mostly sweet but this year I decided to come up with a savory alternative in case you don’t have a strong sweet tooth like us.
These hamantaschen are filled with a classic israeli style topping: the matbucha. It’s a mix of tomatoes and peppers spiced with harissa or cayenne pepper. You can use any topping in this recipe, but the recipe from my shakshuka is delicious with the dough!
