Tzimmes

Tzimmes, or tsimmes (Yiddish: צימעס, Hebrew: צִימֶעס), is a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish stew typically made from carrots and dried fruits such as prunes or raisins, often combined with other root vegetables (including yam).

[1][2][3] Tzimmes is often part of the Rosh Hashanah meal, when it is traditional to eat sweet and honey-flavored dishes.

[4] Some cooks add chunks of meat (usually beef flank or brisket).

[1][3][5] The dish is cooked slowly over low heat and flavored with honey or sugar and sometimes cinnamon or other spices.

[6] The name is a Yiddish word that, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, may come from Middle High German imbīz, 'meal'.
