  1. “Tzimmes is quite a sweet dish – think of it as the Jewish equivalent of the sweet potato and marshmallow pie served on Thanksgiving – and needs to be paired with something deeply savoury for balance. A roast chicken, brisket or short ribs work beautifully, and if you want to keep it vegetarian, I would go for rice and some sort of soy-braised brassica.” Helen Graham
