Margalit’s Julienne

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Despite the weird name julienne, (sorry Margalit), this delicious concoction is a show stopper! 

It had everything, the sweet TZIMMIS carrots, the savory meat & mushrooms and the rice to bring it all together.

Now yes it takes a minute to make each part, but it’s really simple and 1000% percent worth it!
