Shavuot ricotta pastries and potato-cheese galette
Pastries
Shavuot began as a harvest festival, but it also commemorates the revelation at Sinai and the giving of the Torah. While Shavuot has few rituals associated with it, many Jews stay up all night studying Torah. Other customs include eating dairy foods and reading the Book of Ruth. <br />In our family we keep Jewish Holiday mostly with traditional cuisine, and for Shavuot, my Mom and aunty Clair always baked a lot of sweet and savory strudels, knishes and pastries filled with dairy products. <br />I usually bake the Ricotta Pastries for dessert and for an appetizer I like them with scallions or chives, dill, salt and pepper. <br />The rice adds to the filling some texture, which I like. <br />
