Jerusalem Peppery Kugel (Kugel Yerushalmi) image

This is a really delicious sweet and peppery kugel. This is traditional, pareve kugel recipe from Joan Nathan's "Foods of Israel Today" cookbook. Supposedly this version originated in Jerusalem with followers of the Vilna Gaon. For a faster version, you can make this in a 9x13-inch baking dish and cook uncovered for 1 hour.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 teaspoons salt
12 ounces capellini or 12 ounces other thin spaghetti
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F degrees. Bring 6 cups of water to boil in a pot, add ½ teaspoon of the salt and cook pasta for about 5 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, rinse in cold water, and place in a bowl.
  • Add pepper, remaining salt, eggs, and 2/3 cup of sugar. Mix well.
  • Heat oil in a small saucepan and add remaining 1/3 cup of the sugar. Mix well and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and starts to turn brown. Keep an eye on this, for once it begins to color, it will get dark quickly. Pour caramelized sugar over pasta, mixing well. Don't worry if some of the caramel hardens, it will soften later.
  • Grease a Bundt pan or a a 9 x 13 baking dish.and pour spaghetti inches Cover with tin foil and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 2 hours. If you like a crustier top, take the foil off for the last half hour of cooking.

JERUSALEM SWEET-HOT NOODLE CASSEROLE/ YERUSHALMI KUGEL



Jerusalem Sweet-Hot Noodle Casserole/ Yerushalmi Kugel image

This is a very unique dish that can be found all over Jerusalem. It is a noodle casserole with carmelized sugar and lots of black pepper. Serve this warm as a different kind of side dish. I originally got this recipe from a community cookbook that was given to me along with all the other brides that got married that same year. Recipe is from Susie Gale with only a minor change.
