Malawach Deli Borekas

September 29, 2026 by overtimecook Leave a Comment

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! I like the idea of deli roll, but I've always felt that the classic deli roll could use some major improvements. These malawach deli borekas include so many improvements over the classic: swap puff pastry for the vastly more delicious malawach dough, cut the deli up so every bite has a bit of everything, and make them in beautiful yet practical single serve units. Trust me, you'll never want to go back to the classic!   If you like this recipe, you'll love my upcoming cookbook, Real Life Shabbos Cooking! Did you know that I share cooking … [Read more...]

Chicken Capons with Leek and Date Stuffing

September 2, 2026 by overtimecook 4 Comments

Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? I send out a weekly menu plan, plus more. Click here to sign up. P.S – it’s completely free! I always find it ironic that some people think of chicken capons as an old-fashioned dish. Maybe it's time to rename it chicken roulade and celebrate how beautiful this chicken looks on the plate (especially when you serve it sliced, as pictured). The fact that it can be prepared ahead and frozen is just another bonus!  If you aren't familiar with chicken capons, they are what kosher butchers call a deboned chicken leg, with the skin still attached. They are one of my favorite ways to serve chicken, and I am grateful to Los Angeles's … [Read more...]
