TRI-LAYERED VEGETABLE KUGEL RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Tri-Layered Vegetable Kugel Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by blum099

Number Of Ingredients 26

FRYING PAN:
BOWL 1: ORANGE
4 medium-sized carrots
1 large sweet potato
2 eggs
3 to 4 tablespoons potato starch
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch pepper
BOWL 2: WHITE
5 medium-sized white-fleshed potatoes, peeled
2 eggs
3 to 4 tablespoons potato starch
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch pepper
BOWL 3: GREEN
6 firm, large green zucchinis
1 large white-fleshed potato
2 eggs
3 to 4 tablespoons potato starch
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch pepper
4 large onions, diced
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For each layer, boil the vegetables, drain, and mash. Keep them separated in their own bowls according to color. Mix the vegetables in each bowl together with the other ingredients that are listed under their coordinating section until a smooth batter forms. Continue to keep them separated in their own bowls according to color. Sautee the onions in olive oil until golden. Divide evenly among the three bowls. Take out a 10-inch round pie pan with removable sides, a springform pan, and coat it very lightly with some oil, very little. Pour in the white layer, and smooth it around. Pour the orange layer on top, and smooth it around. Add the green layer, smooth it down. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, on 350°F, until firm and set. Present this on a beautiful serving platter, cut one slice out to show off its layers, and serve.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter kugel, use more apples and sugar. For a more tart kugel, use more lemons and less sugar.
  • Be sure to drain the apples well after grating them, or the kugel will be too wet.
  • If you don't have matzo meal, you can use breadcrumbs or flour.
  • You can add other ingredients to the kugel, such as raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips.
  • Serve the kugel warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or dessert. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and fruits, and it's also a good source of nutrients.
