Hmm…Savory!
I’m always on a quest to try a recipe for Hamantaschen each year. Glad I ran across your blog :-)

This year in the eternal endeavor to have the amount of filling match the amount of dough I made MANGO-PAPAYA
hamantaschen-YOWZA I highly recommend them.

Mohn filling is ready to go! I made that last night using Gil Marks’ recipe!

Thanks Ketzirah Carly – if you end up making them, let us know how they turn out.

Good point Bea – I was thinking calzones as a comparison, but burekas work too :)

Everything savory that goes into Burekas, should also be fit for savory Hamantashen. Happy Purim!

that’s a brilliant idea! I’m still going to make mohn-filled ones — but I may make a few savories too!

i’ve made an apple/lemon/nut galette, and also spinach/onion/cheese. the larger one is more like a ‘pie’ and a nice addition to a purim seudah.

Dont you worry, Chanie – there was plenty of honey and/or nutella swirled in with the peanut butter!

What do you put in your galette?

first of all, add some chocolate to the peanut butter next time…yum! (we’ve also done peanut butter and jelly, but the ‘reese’s’ ones are always a hit)

i’ve also done hamantaschen shaped calzones (which i’ll be making tonight for shabbat)- dough is different, obviously, and dont have the crunch, but a fun variation.

another variation we’ve done are large galette – savory and sweet – shaped like a hamantaschen (you just fold up the dough like a hamantaschen instead of all around like you normally would.)

Hey – glad you like the blog!

I knew there’d be at least one or two die-hard mohn fans out there – more power to you! But while it’s true I’ve only ever tried the fake-y stuff, I’m still a bit skeptical. Maybe I’ll have to take you up on your offer to try the homemade version if I ever make it out to Seattle – or you can always send a batch to the Hazon office! ;-)

p.s. You can buy raisins at the farmers’ market in seattle? that’s amazing!
