This recipe comes from Levana Kirschenbaum, one of my favorite cooks in New York. Tzimmes is normally cooked loosely in a pot and served as a pretty wet side dish, but Levana put a whole new spin on this traditional food, and has turned it into a delicious kugel. If you use matzo meal instead of flour, it's a fantastic addition to your Passover repetoire.
Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated (about 1 pound)
1 lb carrot, peeled and grated (4-5 medium)
1 medium onion, peeled and grated
1 cup crushed pineapple with juice
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 cup pitted prune, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup flour (or matzo meal)
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons brandy
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
3. Don't squeeze the mixture or you will extract moisture and the end product will be soggy.
4. Pour into a greased 10 inch round cake pan.
5. Bake for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cut into slices and serve warm.
