Readers nationwide will get a taste of Mercer Island's Stopsky's Delicatessen, as the March edition of Bon Appetit features three recipes that update the Passover seder.
For the article Brisket and Gefilte Fish Get a Makeover, Austin Zimmerman of Stopsky's contributed the following recipes:
Chile-Braised Short Ribs
Smoked Fish Fritters with Beet Vinaigrette
Lime-in-the-Coconut Macaroons
According to Stopsky's newsletter, Zimmerman spiced up the typical Ashkenazic beef braise with New Mexico chilies, pan-fried the cod and smoked whitefish gefilte fish and freshened up the traditional macaroons with lime zest.
The article has several pictures of the finished dishes, and prep instructions on how to plan the menu.
However, Mercer Islanders have an option other than preparing the meal at home -- according to Stopsky's newsletter, the items will be featured on a special fixed price menu for the week of Passover, which is March 25 to April 2. All menu items, regular and special, will be available for serving at home as well, according to the deli.
Stopsky's is located at 3016 78th Ave SE Mercer Island.
