Need a Protein for Chanukkah lunch

[Anonymous]

I am serving creamy tomato soup, a kale and brussel sprout salad, challah, latkes, and bimuelos-my husband wants a protein (meat). What would you suggest.? Our kindergartner is in a play at 11 so we will all be at his performance until 11:30 and home by noon for lunch. The kids will want to eat immediately...There will be 3 kids, and 6 adults. TIA!

op here-you all don't think chicken/brisket is too heavy for a lunch?

Roast chicken! Ina Garten's lemon chicken recipe would be perfect.

op here-ok thanks-I don't eat meat so I wasn't sure..appreciate the input! I think a roast chicken should be easy enough...serving brisket Sunday night.

Just get a chicken that's big enough so that it can be left cooking while you're gone. Really small ones are done in 2 hours I think.

Or if you want a protein that's veg, and very Chanukah friendly, try falafel. You can make the dough in advance and just fry before serving.

I'm impressed with any kids that will eat kale and brussel sprout salad.

If you don't mind the milk/meat combo (since you are serving creamy tomato soup, I'm guessing some dairy there), then I would go with a roast chicken.

Your menu sounds great.

I'd say a ham steak would be good... or maybe a spiral sliced ham

Your menu sounds wonderful. Have to second Ina's lemon chicken. Yum! Enjoy and happy Chanukah !
