INDIVIDUAL ONION KUGELS
While this isn't exactly diet food, this is my considerably lightened version of a dish that appeared recently at epicurious.com. The original recipe called for the onions to be cooked in an appalling amount of butter (a full stick!). I've found that a quarter of that still results in richly browned, flavorful onions; take your time and keep the heat on the low side initially while cooking them, and you'll be rewarded. I've also substituted reduced fat versions of both the cottage cheese and sour cream and have detected no loss of flavor or texture. Because my family is suspicious of anything containing cottage cheese, I processed the sour cream, cottage cheese, eggs, salt and pepper in my food processor until velvety before mixing with the noodles, onions and parsley. Using muffin tins for this classic Jewish comfort food helps with portion control, and the bonus is lots of scrumptious crusty edges. Letting the kugels cool in the pan before attempting to remove them is important for the presentation -- if you try to extract them while they're fresh from the oven, they'll just fall apart. These are so delicious! Although these individual kugels would be a natural as a side dish, I serve them as a vegetarian entree with a simple green salad. The serving size is based on using jumbo muffin tins to serve as a main course. Regular muffin tins would produce 12 side-dish sized servings.

- Cook the onions over medium-low heat. This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep flavor.
- Stir the onions frequently. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Don't add salt to the onions until they are almost caramelized. This will help them to brown properly.
- Use a good quality broth. This will add flavor to the kugel.
- Grate the potatoes by hand. This will give the kugel a lighter texture.
- Bake the kugel until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
