Mexican Tuna Tostadas

These spicy snacks taste even better than nachos, plus the avocado and tuna add a hefty 10 grams of heart-healthy fat.

Lamb Chops with Pomegranate Relish

We heart this dish. Pomegranate may protect your arteries against LDL ("bad") cholesterol.

Dates with Goat Cheese Wrapped in Prosciutto

These rich nibbles only taste decadent. Soft goat cheese is naturally lower in fat.

Orange-Vanilla Sundaes with Dates and Orange Muscat

This recipe comes exclusively to Epicurious from Suzanne Tracht of Los Angeles's Jar restaurant.

Savory Applesauce

This recipe originally accompanied Potato-Parsnip Latkes with Savory Applesauce

Orange-Ginger Charoset

Although major brands of crystallized ginger list only sugar and ginger in the ingredients, crystallized ginger cannot be purchased with kosher-for-Passover certification. If you choose to omit this ingredient, increase the fresh ginger by one teaspoon and add 2 extra teaspoons of honey. This recipe is best served within a few hours of preparation.

Fig and Port Wine Charoset

In addition to its traditional role on the Seder plate, this charoset is delicious as a condiment for duck or roast beef.

Sephardic Charoset

This fusion of many Sephardic recipes makes an extremely realistic “mortar.” The nuts and spices can be varied to suit individual tastes.

Apricot-Pistachio Charoset

This recipe produces a slightly dry, chunky charoset. If you prefer a more moist version, add extra wine, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve the desired consistency.

Candied Walnut Charoset

This slight variation on traditional Ashkenazi charoset calls for deep-frying the walnuts and coating them with sugar. The nuts stay crispier in the final product and have a pleasant, toasty flavor.
