Tzimmes, tsimmes, and other spelling variants (Yiddish: צימעס) is a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish sweet stew typically made from carrots and dried fruits such as prunesorraisins, often combined with other root vegetables.[1][2][3] Some cooks add chunks of meat (usually flanken or brisket).[1][3][4] The dish is cooked slowly over low heat and flavored with honeyorsugar and sometimes cinnamon or other spices.[5]
Tzimmes is often part of the Rosh Hashanah meal, when it is traditional to eat sweet and honey-flavored dishes. Traditionally sliced in rounds, carrots bring to mind gold coins, symbolizing the hope of prosperity in the year to come.[1][6]
The name may come from the Yiddish words tzim (for) and esn (eating).[1] "To make a big tzimmes over something" is a Yinglish expression that means to make a big fuss, perhaps because of all the slicing, mixing, and stirring that go into the preparation of the dish.[4]
