Mitzvah Blvd Puppet In Kitchen

This recipe series is brought to you by Kettle & Cord, the home essentials store in Crown Heights. In this video, chef Gitty Rapoport is joined by a celebrity puppet guest: Shuey from Mitzvah Boulevard. Together they’re making Spinach Pastrami Wontontaschen, a savory spin on the traditional Purim hamantash.

While hamantashen are traditionally sweet and cookie-like, this wontontaschen variation combines spinach, naval pastrami and dijon mustard to create a wonton-like delicacy for the Purim Seudah.

The best part? Unlike wontons which are traditionally deep-fried, these wontontaschen are cooked in the Chefman air fryer, making them a guilt-free Purim pleasure.
