As part of the 2005 RecipeZaar World Tour I've been searching for International recipes to introduce new flavors and ideas to our meal plans. This one is from Diabetic Gourmet via a friend, but it looks quite promising. For those like me following the WW Core plan it's Core plus the points for the matzo meal.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
3 carrots, grated
1 cup mushroom, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup matzo meal

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a non-stick pan with medium heat.
  • Lightly spritz with cooking spray and sauté onion, celery, red pepper and carrots for 5 minutes, until golden.
  • Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes longer.
  • Mix in all the remaining ingredients and pour shallow roasting or lasagna pan prepared with cooking spray. Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes until the kugel is firm set.
  • Cut into squares and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables. The best vegetables for kugel are those that are firm and have a slightly sweet flavor, such as carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes.
  • Grate the vegetables finely. This will help them cook evenly and create a smooth texture.
  • Use a combination of matzo meal and flour. This will help the kugel bind together and prevent it from becoming too dry.
  • Add some herbs and spices. This will give the kugel more flavor. Some good options include dill, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Bake the kugel until it is golden brown and set in the center. This will usually take about 45 minutes to an hour.

Conclusion:

Spring vegetable kugel is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Whether you are looking for a side dish or a main course, spring vegetable kugel is a great option.
