QUINOA, ZUCCHINI, & LEEK CURRIED KUGEL RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Quinoa, Zucchini, & Leek Curried Kugel Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by blum099

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 leek, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 cup of quinoa
1 cup of water
1/8 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 clove of garlic
2 medium-sized zucchini, sliced
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon curry powder
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In 1 tablespoon olive oil, sauté the leek over a medium flame until tender. Once leek is tender, add quinoa and toast for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the water and a 1/8 teaspoon salt and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Cover and set aside. In a separate frying pan, add the garlic and the other tablespoon of olive oil and sauté over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add zucchini and sauté for 5 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, eggs, and curry thoroughly. Stir in the zucchini and quinoa and mix well. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch round baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown

Tips:

  • Select the right zucchini: Choose medium-sized zucchini as they tend to have fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
  • Grate the zucchini correctly: Use the large holes of a box grater to ensure uniform grating.
  • Salt the zucchini: Salting the grated zucchini helps draw out excess moisture, resulting in a less watery kugel.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like dill and parsley add a vibrant flavor to the kugel.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the kugel dense and tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Start by baking the kugel at a high temperature to set the edges, then reduce the heat to finish cooking the center.
  • Let the kugel cool before slicing: This helps the kugel hold its shape when sliced.

Conclusion:

Zucchini kugel is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It's a great way to use up summer zucchini and can be easily customized with different herbs, vegetables, and cheeses. Whether you're looking for a comforting comfort food or a healthy and flavorful dish, zucchini kugel is a perfect choice. So next time you have an abundance of zucchini, give this recipe a try and experience the goodness of zucchini in a whole new way!
