Tzimmes / Tsimmes

Tzimmes or Tsimmes is a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish dish in which the principal ingredient is diced or sliced carrots, sometimes combined with dried fruits like prunes or raisins, or chunks of meat. Tzimmes is a sweet Jewish dish. Traditionally, it is made in any number of ways and can combine fruits, meat and vegetables. Traditionally served on Rosh Hashana, this sweet Jewish dish is flavored with honey and usually with cinnamon as well. The flavors of this casserole-style dish develop by cooking it at a very low temperature for a very long time.
