Keeping kosher doesn’t have to mean sacrificing convenience or flavour. Here are 5 quick and simple dishes you can whip up at home, even on busy weeknights:

1. Tuna Salad Pita Pockets: Combine canned tuna in water with chopped celery, red onion, mayonnaise, and your favourite seasonings like lemon juice, capers, and dill. Stuff the mixture into warmed pita bread pockets and enjoy with a side salad or sliced vegetables.
2. Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and Feta: Whisk eggs in a bowl with a splash of milk or water. Sauté chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese in a pan until wilted. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and scramble until cooked through. Serve on toast or a bagel for a protein-packed breakfast or light dinner.
3. Pasta Primavera: Cook your favourite kosher pasta according to package instructions. While the pasta cooks, sauté chopped vegetables like broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini in olive oil until tender. Toss cooked pasta with the vegetables, a squeeze of lemon juice, and your favourite herbs for a quick and colourful meal.
4. Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry: Slice chicken breast or thighs into thin strips. Sauté the chicken in a pan with a drizzle of oil until cooked through. Add chopped vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas, and stir-fry for a few minutes until tender-crisp. Serve over cooked rice or noodles for a satisfying and healthy meal.
5. Tuna Noodle Casserole: Combine cooked and drained kosher noodles with canned tuna in water, peas, cream of mushroom soup (ensure it’s kosher certified), shredded cheese, and a sprinkle of paprika. Mix well and transfer to a baking dish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Enjoy a comforting and familiar casserole with minimal prep time.

Remember, these are just a starting point! Be creative and customise the dishes with your own favourite ingredients to make them your own! With a little planning and creativity, keeping kosher at home can be both convenient and delicious.
