Iraqi Charoset
חרוסת עיראקית
An Iraqi Jewish Passover charoset made in a strikingly simple style: dark date syrup topped or mixed with coarse walnuts. More liquid than many Ashkenazi versions, it functions almost like a sweet dip for the Seder.
Ingredients
- •1 cup silan (date syrup)
- •3/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
- •1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- •1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- 1
If desired, lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes to deepen their flavor, then let them cool.
- 2
Coarsely chop the walnuts so the mixture retains texture.
- 3
Pour the silan into a serving bowl.
- 4
Stir in half of the walnuts, along with the cinnamon and a tiny pinch of salt if using.
- 5
Scatter the remaining walnuts over the top.
- 6
Serve at the Seder as a sweet charoset for dipping or spooning onto matzo.
Kosher notes
Use kosher-for-Passover silan and plain walnuts with no additives. Naturally pareve.
