Rosalyn Tauber of New York City, writes: I find that many restaurants don't observe kosher for passover standards, so I always look for recipes my family can enjoy at home. I've been making this dish for ten years. These delightful orange pudding cups are a simple and supreme side with a mellow carrot flavor and a citrus note. They're a great addition to any Passover menu. Ingredients:
1/3 cup unsalted margarine, melted and cooled, plus additional for greasing |
2 lb carrots (peeled), cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces (5 cups) |
1/4 cup matzo cake meal |
1/4 cup potato starch |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 large eggs, separated |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Generously brush muffin cups with margarine.
2. Cook carrots in boiling salted water in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, uncovered, until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain carrots in a colander and purée in a food processor until very smooth, about 1 minute.
3. Whisk together matzo cake meal, potato starch, and salt in a small bowl.
4. Beat together egg yolks, sugar, zest, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and mix in cake-meal mixture until just combined. Add carrot purée and 1/3 cup margarine and mix until just combined.
5. Beat whites in another large bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold stiff peaks. Fold one third of whites into carrot mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
6. Divide batter among muffin cups, then rap tin once or twice on work surface to eliminate any large air bubbles. Bake until browned on edges and a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center of a carrot cup comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 5 minutes, then run a knife around edges of carrot cups and turn out onto a serving dish. Serve warm.
7. Cooks' notes: ·Carrot cups can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then chilled in an airtight container. Reheat carrot cups on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven until hot, 5 to 10 minutes. ·If you can't find matzo cake meal, finely grind regular matzo meal in a blender.
