This is part three of the Israel Kids Cultural Exchange about Food what was sent in the Israel Kids Cultural Exchange. You can read part one<\/a> or\u00a0part two here. <\/a>This part was about food.<\/em><\/p>\n

As part of the Israel Kids Cultural Exchange about food we included recipes, a story, about favorite foods as well as some favorite Israeli samples that could be shipped easily.<\/p>\n

Kid Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Falafel, Halva, kids like “chamutzim” – sour pickels and sour olives. Pomegranates and pomelas (or mini pomelas) are popular and grown here. Spearmint or “Nana” is a very popular tea.<\/p>\n

Recipes<\/h2>\n

Shakshuka<\/em> Hard or Easy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ingredients: 2 lbs fresh tomatoes, unpeeled and cut in quarters, or one 28 oz can
\n6 cloves garlic, roughly diced 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste

\n6 eggs<\/p>\n

Harder way:<\/h3>\n

Make tomato sauce by combining tomatoes, garlic, salt, paprika, tomato paste, and oil in a saucepan. Simmer and cook uncovered, over low heat until thick, for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Stir occasionally. Put tomato sauce in a frying pan. Simmer and break the eggs into the sauce. Cover and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the eggs have set. Serve in frying pan.<\/p>\n

Easy way:<\/h3>\n

Use packaged matbucha<\/em> or salsa as the base and then add eggs.<\/p>\n

Israeli salad<\/h3>\n

Tomato, cucumber, pepper cut into very small pieces and add salt, pepper, oil and lemon juice.<\/p>\n

We included the spice zaatar in the packages we sent. Things you can do with it: Put in salad, on pizza, in pasta sauce, in herbal tea, Eat with sour cream with bread or crackers, Take a half cup of olive oil, put in a little serving bowl. Add a bit of salt and zatar. Great on challah.<\/p>\n

Chicken with lemon, olives, onion and zaatar<\/h3>\n

Marinate and roast<\/p>\n

Challah<\/h3>\n

\"Homemade<\/a><\/p>\n

We make challah almost every week for Shabbat. Usually we use the dough to also make “rugalach” filled with either cinnamon and sugar or chocolate. We use a bread machine to do the dough.
\n1-2 eggs
\n1\/3-1\/2 c sugar (or less honey)
\n2tsp salt
\n1\/2 c oil
\n11\/3c water
\n4.5 c of flour
\n2.5 tsp yeast<\/p>\n

Tiras Cham Story<\/h2>\n

I also included a popular Israeli kids story “Tiras Cham<\/em>” (Hot Corn) by Miriam Roth for the Israel Kids Cultural Exchange about Food. I included an audio story and a little coloring sheet. I included a translation of the story but I am not going to do that here. Instead you can hear it read on YouTube:<\/p>\n
