Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cups coarsely grated carrots
2 medium onions, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables. Use a variety of vegetables that will hold their shape when cooked, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and parsnips. Avoid vegetables that are too soft, such as tomatoes or zucchini.
  • Grate the vegetables finely. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality breadcrumb mixture. The breadcrumb mixture is what will bind the kugel together, so make sure it is flavorful and well-seasoned. You can use a store-bought breadcrumb mixture or make your own.
  • Don't overcook the kugel. The kugel should be cooked until it is golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. Overcooking will make the kugel dry and crumbly.
  • Let the kugel cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Festive vegetable kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is perfect for holiday gatherings or any special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect vegetable kugel that everyone will love.
