More about Valentine Schmalentine Menu

in case you are wondering what all these strange foods might be --

Zakuski

Valentine Schmalentine What Am I? Chopped Liver?
traditional chopped liver with onions and eggs. Goes great with a pickle on some dark rye. It is made from free range chicken livers.

Jewish Salami
What makes it Jewish? There is no pork here. Made with beef and very tasty!

Bresaola
The recipe comes from the Italian Alps - salted and aged beef. Delicious. More pickles please!

Gefilte Fish
It's nothing like the stuff in the jars. This is poached ground white fish. Must eat with horseradish.

Pickled veggies
Try our non-vinegar marinated tomatoes, Wild Porcini mushrooms, pickled squash, kraut, pickled beets. Yum!

First Course

Chicken Soup, What the Doctor Ordered
This soup is made with organic chicken and slowly cooked for 3 hours. We take our chicken soup seriously. This will make you feel better even if you don't feel bad.

Wild Porcini Mushroom Soup
This is a real mushroom soup. It is made with wild Porcini (Bolete) mushrooms harvested in the woods outside of Olympia.

Locally harvested wild Porcini mushroom

Second Course

Pelmeni
These dumplings with potatoes or meat and spices were the favorite food of Siberian hunters. They come in a light broth with garlic butter or sour cream and scallions.

Kasha with Root Vegetables
This dish is an Italian Jewish recipe that comes with caramelized onions and seasonal root vegetables sauteed with walnuts, maple syrup and fresh herbs.

Matzo Ball Soup – A Jewish classic chicken soup with carrot, sweet potato, celery and the most delicious dumpling! Vegetarian and Gluten Free (w/out matzo balls) options available

Fish
Gefilte Fish – Another of the Jewish classics, often eaten on the Sabbath. If you haven’t tried it yet, now is the time! (GF)

Salted Herring Plate – Eaten across Eastern Europe for a breakfast or a snack daily, this dish should satisfy your savory desires. Served with potato and pickles. (GF)

Bread & Pasta
Pelmeni – These cute little Russian dumplings were favored by hunters going on long trips for their durability in cold weather and the heartiness in small servings. Four kinds available - Chicken, Beef, Potato & Red Currant.

Piroshky – Another Russian favorite. This dish is a savory pie with a cabbage filling.

Challah – This braided bread is eaten on Shabbat to remind us of how interconnected we all are. And, it’s quite delicious!

The Tasty!
Zucchini Caviar Salad – No, there’s no fish eggs in here, just delicious veggies. This tasty Russian spread is most excellently enjoyed atop some challah! (GF and Vegetarian)

Hamentashen – We made them again, just in time for Purim!

Rugalach – A delicious treat made with cream cheese, walnuts and spice.
