HOLIDAY APRICOT KUGEL



Holiday Apricot Kugel image

I first came across this recipe while visiting my wife's family in Buck's County, PA. It goes great with Thanksgiving dinner as a side dish. The original recipe was savory and comes from Eastern Europe and dates back more than 1,000 years. This particular recipe is most likely a variation of a recipe brought over to the new world by German/Dutch immigrants.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing the dish
Kosher salt
8 ounces wide egg noodles
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
3 shallots, thinly sliced
1 bunch Swiss chard (12 ounces), stems finely chopped, leaves torn into small pieces and reserved separately
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh dill fronds, chopped, plus extra for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 2-quart oval baking dish with olive oil. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add enough salt so that the water tastes like the sea. Add the noodles and cook 2 minutes less than the package directions. The noodles should be firm-tender. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, and then drain the noodles. Let the noodles and pasta water cool slightly. In a large bowl whisk the eggs with the broth and pasta water until smooth. Add the noodles and nutmeg and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, without stirring, until the edges are browned, about 5 minutes. Stir the shallots and continue to cook, stirring, until well browned. Add the chard stems, garlic 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the stems are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chard leaves and a splash of water and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool slightly and then stir in the dill.
  • Add the chard mixture to the noodles and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Place the baking dish in a large roasting pan and add enough water so it comes up the side of the pan about one-third of the way.
  • Carefully transfer to the oven and bake until the center is set, about 1 hour 20 minutes, tenting the kugel with foil when the noodles are golden brown and crisp. Let stand at least 5 minutes. Garnish with dill. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup millet
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups water
Salt to taste
1 cup cottage cheese
3 eggs
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/4 cup mild honey or agave nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
