QUINOA AND CARROT KUGEL
A request from a reader for a quinoa and carrot kugel inspired this week of recipes. I have no idea if this caraway-scented version resembles the kugel she enjoyed at a reception (see the variation below for one that might resemble it more), but it was a big hit in my household

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion is just about tender, 3 to 5 minutes, and add the quinoa. Cook, stirring, for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the quinoa begins to smell toasty and the onion is tender. Add the water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover, reduce the heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the quinoa and carrots are tender and the grains display a threadlike spiral. Uncover and use tongs to transfer the carrot sticks to a bowl. If any water remains in the pot, drain the quinoa through a strainer, then return to the pot. Place a dish towel over the pot, then return the lid and let sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin
- In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, purée the cooked carrots. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the cottage cheese and purée until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs, salt (I suggest about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper and caraway, and purée until smooth. Scrape into a large mixing bowl. Add the quinoa and mix together thoroughly. Scrape into the oiled baking dish. Drizzle the remaining oil over the top and place in the oven
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into squares or wedges

Steps:
- Put carrots in a large saucepan and add water to cover. Boil over high heat for 25 minutes or until carrots are tender. Drain and place in a large mixing bowl. Mash carrots with a fork.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-inch non-stick springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. (You can also use a tart pan with a removable bottom, muffin or mini-muffin tin. Be sure sides are at least 2 inches high.) Set aside.
- Add rest of the ingredients to the carrots. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. (Can also be mixed by hand.) Do not overbeat - should still have little bits of carrot.
- Pour mixture in pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (For muffins, 30 minutes and mini-muffins, start checking after 20 minutes.).

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Carrots: Opt for fresh, firm carrots with a deep orange color. Avoid limp or bruised carrots.
- Preparing the Carrots: Peel and grate the carrots using a food processor or grater. Ensure the carrots are grated finely for a smooth texture.
- Draining the Carrots: Place the grated carrots in a colander and let them drain excess moisture. This step helps prevent the kugel from becoming too watery.
- Applesauce Selection: Use unsweetened applesauce for a healthier version of the kugel. You can make your own applesauce or use store-bought.
- Baking the Kugel: Bake the kugel in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the carrot kugel warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted chicken, beef brisket, or as a side dish for a holiday meal.
