Kugel is most often made with potatoes or noodles. Here, carrots, zucchini, and two kinds of onions add color and flavor to a potato version. Ingredients:
5 large eggs |
3 medium onions (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds total), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces, divided |
14 green onions, coarsely chopped, divided |
5 8-ounce russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes, divided |
2 medium carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces, divided |
1 large zucchini, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces, divided |
1/2 cup unsalted matzo meal |
2 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
8 tablespoons melted unsalted pareve margarine, vegetable oil, or melted chicken fat, divided |
Directions:
1. Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Combine 3 eggs, half of onions, and half of green onions in processor. Blend until mixture is almost smooth and fluffy. Add half of potatoes, half of carrots, and half of zucchini. Blend until vegetables are finely chopped (bits of carrots and zucchini will remain). Transfer mixture to large bowl. Repeat with remaining 2 eggs, onions, and green onions, then potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. Add to mixture in bowl. Whisk in matzo meal, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then 1/4 cup margarine.
