Chard And Caramelized Shallot Noodle Kugel Recipes

CHARD & CARAMELIZED SHALLOT NOODLE KUGEL RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°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.

CARAMELIZED-SCALLION NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil, and salt it well. Cook the Chinese broccoli until tender, about 4 minutes. Scoop the greens out with a skimmer, and dry well. Keep the water boiling.
• Cook the noodles according to the package directions. As soon as they're drained, return them to the empty pot, off heat, and dress them with 6 tablespoons of the caramelized-scallion sauce, or to taste. Season with salt, if desired.
• Divide the noodles into bowls, and top with the Chinese broccoli, the chicken (or whatever protein you choose) and the eggs. Drizzle oyster sauce on the Chinese broccoli, and season the eggs with a few drops of soy sauce. Top with a few pinches of julienne ginger or pickles, and serve immediately.

Add fish sauce and chicken stock (or 2 tablespoons water) and continue stir-frying, tossing ingredients together, until chard is just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; serve immediately.

NOODLE KUGEL RECIPE - (4.3/5)

• Butter a 9x13 baking dish. In a large saucepan of boiling, salted water cook the noodles for 7 to 8 minutes or until not quite cooked, just under al dente. Drain.

CARAMELIZED SHALLOT AND CHICKEN FETTUCCINI

Steps:

• Heat up 2 tablespoons of the oil and the butter in a large high sided skillet or and electric skillet to medium low. I found that the electric skillet was easier to use and freed up space on the stove top.
• Add the garlic to the skillet and let it start to turn brown.
• Add the sliced shallots to the skillet and hit them with some kosher salt and black pepper. About a teaspoon each. Let this cook over a low heat until the shallots get some nice dark color. You want sweet and sticky.
• While the shallots are cooking, heat up the other tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over a medium high heat.
• Toss the chopped chicken with the seasoning salt until it's evenly coated. Add the chicken to the heated pan.
• Cook the chicken until it's got some good color, add 1/4 cup white wine and let it it cook down.
• Do you have a pot of well salted water on for the pasta? If not, go ahead and get that. Please add a at least 2 tablespoons of salt to about 1 gallon of water. You'll thank me later.
• By this time, the shallots should be coming along nicely. Throw the chicken in there with them and deglaze the chicken pan over a low heat with the rest of the wine. Scrape all the stuff off the bottom of the pan and set that aside.
• When the pasta is not quite done. By this I mean, if you take a bite out of a noodle and think " 1 or 2 more minutes will do", it's ready. (it's gonna finish cooking in the skillet with the rest of the stuff.
• Be sure to save about 3 cups of the pasta water before you dump the pasta to strain it. When you strain the pasta, don't rinse it. Just shake the excess water off and throw it back in the pot.
• Add you chicken pan deglazing broth to the skillet and turn the heat up to medium. add 2 cups of the pasta water and give it a good stir.
• Add the pasta to the skillet and toss well. Add the rest of the pasta water if you think it looks a little too dry.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and toss some more.
• At this point you could add the parsley if you're using it. I find it adds a nice "freshness" to the dish, but it's not a make or break ingredient.
