Raspberry Hamantaschen Cookies

As in all things Jewish, there’s some debate: which came first, Purim or hamanstaschen? Purim is the Jewish festival commemorating the deliverance of ancient Persian Jews from destruction, as recorded in the biblical Book of Esther, also called the Megillah. The triangle cookie we know and love as hamantaschen is associated with the three-cornered hat of Haman, the villain central to the story.  
 
And here’s where the plot thickens and the feasting begins.  
 
According to the Book of Esther, Haman, royal advisor to King Ahasuerus, planned to kill the Jews, but his plan was foiled at a feast where the bold and steadfast Queen Esther reveals her identity as a Jew. Whether there were poppy seed cakes at that feast God only knows. But records show it was customary to eat poppy seeds and honey at Purim-time all the way back to the days of  Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra, the renowned Jewish scholar of the Eleventh Century.  
 
Poppy seed-filled cakes, called mohn-taschen, were also popular

BBQ Meatball Hamantaschen

This tricorner pastry is as closely linked to Purim, a Jewish holiday which celebrates the Jews’ deliverance from a plot to kill them by Haman, as matzos are to Passover. Fillings of poppy seeds, nuts and dried fruits used to be as exciting as these Eastern European sweets got. But these days, unconventional fillings like marzipan, sour apple, dates with sweet red wine and cinnamon, and halvah are not uncommon. Here, a version for chocolate lovers.
