Name: Vegetarian Kishka
Ingredients: 1 cup of shmaltz or olive oil or a combo; 1/2 to 1 cup of grebeans (optional); 2 carrots; 2 celery stalks; 2 onions; 2 cloves of garlic; 1/2 tsp cayenne; 1 can of chickpeas, drained; 2 cups of flour (adjust for consistency); 20 Ritz crackers; 2 carrots, 1/4" dice; 2 celery stalks, 1/4" dice; 1 medium onion, 1/4" dice

For the puree: Blend everything in a food processor until fully pureed.

For the filler: Sauté the diced carrots, celery, and onion for 3 minutes but do not brown.

Combine the puree and filler. Refrigerate the mixture to firm it up.

Lightly coat half of a 16" sheet of parchment paper with olive oil.

Add enough mixture to make a 1 1/2" diameter log 12" long. You should get 2 1/2 to 3 logs.

Wrap each parchment-covered log in 2 sheets of aluminum foil.

Bake in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes.

Remove from the oven and remove the foil and parchment paper. Save the foil for rewrapping.

The bottom of the roll will be slightly browned. Turn brown side up and return to the oven for 15 minutes more.

Wrap each log in saved foil for storage in the freezer or fridge.
