Matzah Kugel Recipes

MUSHROOM ONION MATZO KUGEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x12 inch baking dish.
• Place farfel in a colander and pour boiling water over it.
• In a large skillet, saute onions and mushrooms in vegetable oil. Stir in salt and pepper, garlic powder, and dill. Remove from heat and stir farfel into the skillet.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour.

MATZO KUGEL

Steps:

• Sauté onions and celery in fat until onions are tender. Add to broken Matzo's.
• Combine remaining ingredients and add to matzo mixture. It will be a bit runny.
• Pour into well greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish and bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes until firm.

TRADITIONAL MATZO KUGEL FOR PASSOVER

Steps:

• Soak the Matzo sheets in some water until they become slightly soft. You do not want the sheets to be soggy. They should keep their form yet be easy to break into several pieces without causing too many crumbs. I usually run water over my Matzo sheets.
• Shake off the excess water without worrying if there remains a little extra water. Gently break the Matzo sheets into pieces in a bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Melt the butter in a casserole over a low heat (or in the microwave).
• Beat the eggs well. Add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
• Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the Matzo pieces. Mix gently until the pieces are covered by egg.
• Wash, peel, core and chop the apples. I used a combination of sour and sweet apples. The choice of apples is up to you.
• Add the chopped apples, raisins and chopped nuts (if you are using). Mix gently.
• Pour the Matzo-egg mixture into a baking dish. Add the remaining butter reserved for the topping by spreading little dots of butter on top of the dish.
• Place the baking dish in the oven and bake about 45 minutes or until golden brown on top.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool about 10 or 15 minutes before serving.

APPLE MATZO KUGEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. Break the matzo sheets into pieces, and soak in a bowl of water until soft. Drain in a colander, mashing to squeeze the water out.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, salt, sugar, oil and cinnamon. Add the soaked matzo, and mix well. Fold in the apples and raisins. Spoon into the prepared baking dish, and spread evenly.
• Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until nicely browned and apples are tender.

APPLE MATZOH KUGEL

Steps:

• Break matzohs in pieces, soak in water and drain.
• Combine eggs, salt, honey, oil, cinnamon and add to matzoh.
• Mix in nuts, apples and raisins.
• Place in 8- inch square baking dish and bake at 350°F degrees for 35 minutes.

APPLE-MATZOH KUGEL

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 2. Toss the apples with the brown sugar and orange juice, set aside in a medium bowl.
• 3. Break the matzoh into 2- to 3-inch pieces and soak in 1 cup of warm water until soft but not mushy. Set aside.
• 4. While the matzoh soaks, beat the eggs with a wire whisk in a large bowl until blended. Add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, raisins, and apricots.
• 5. Squeeze the liquid from the softened matzoh and add the matzoh to the egg mixture with the apples. Stir the kugel well and pour into a lightly greased 2 1/2-quart casserole dish or a 10x14-inch pan. Dot the top of the kugel with the 4 tablespoons of butter.
• 6. Bake the kugel for 1 hour. Cover the top with foil if the top begins to become too brown early in the baking. Remove the kugel from the oven and cool to room temperature.
