Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
12 ounces wide egg noodles
Freshly ground pepper
3 large eggs
2 cups small-curd cottage cheese
2 cups sour cream
2 cups whole milk
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
3 cups cornflakes, coarsely crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon sugar and cook until soft and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, reserving the skillet.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain the noodles and add to the bowl with the onion mixture; season with salt and pepper.
  • Pulse the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, milk, cinnamon, orange zest, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor until smooth. Add to the noodles and toss, then transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium heat, add the cornflakes and toss. Sprinkle over the pasta and bake until just set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

POTATO KUGEL



Potato Kugel image

Kugel is a traditional Jewish dish often served at holidays. At Passover, a savory potato kugel is most common-a noodle kugel isn't allowed because pasta isn't kosher for Passover. This recipe hits all the traditional notes using schmaltz (chicken fat) to cook the onions and a dairy-free egg custard to hold the kugel all together. But instead of shredding all the potatoes I use frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, which are a great shortcut when you've got a whole dinner to make!

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons schmaltz (chicken fat) or olive oil
2 small onions, finely diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 sprigs thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 bunch chives, chopped (1/4 cup), plus more for serving
6 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Melt the schmaltz (or heat the oil) in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, thyme and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the onions to a large bowl; add the potatoes and chives. Gently stir the mixture together.
  • Whisk the eggs and salt in a medium bowl. Pour evenly over the potato mixture and fold in to combine. Spread and press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake until the kugel is set and you see the sides become a deep golden brown through the glass baking dish, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle each portion with more chives.

Cooking the egg custard in a water bath makes this dairy-free kugel creamy, soft and silky in texture, a lovely contrast to the golden brown crunchy topping.

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for greasing the dish
Kosher salt
8 ounces wide egg noodles
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
3 shallots, thinly sliced
1 bunch Swiss chard (12 ounces), stems finely chopped, leaves torn into small pieces and reserved separately
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh dill fronds, chopped, plus extra for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 2-quart oval baking dish with olive oil. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add enough salt so that the water tastes like the sea. Add the noodles and cook 2 minutes less than the package directions. The noodles should be firm-tender. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, and then drain the noodles. Let the noodles and pasta water cool slightly. In a large bowl whisk the eggs with the broth and pasta water until smooth. Add the noodles and nutmeg and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, without stirring, until the edges are browned, about 5 minutes. Stir the shallots and continue to cook, stirring, until well browned. Add the chard stems, garlic 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the stems are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chard leaves and a splash of water and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool slightly and then stir in the dill.
  • Add the chard mixture to the noodles and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Place the baking dish in a large roasting pan and add enough water so it comes up the side of the pan about one-third of the way.
  • Carefully transfer to the oven and bake until the center is set, about 1 hour 20 minutes, tenting the kugel with foil when the noodles are golden brown and crisp. Let stand at least 5 minutes. Garnish with dill. Serve hot or at room temperature.
