dh doesn't eat zucchini or cooked carrots. Do you think it would work with one layer potatoes, another sweet potatoes and a third mushroom and onion? There isn't any green but it would be white and orange and brown...

I did something similar for pesach with sweet potato, squash and parsnip.

I will be honest. I made the kugel Thursday night. When I reheated it for Friday night, it became watery. Has anyone else had this experience?

I never reheat it... u told me that! I just let it get to room temperature again.

When did I tell you that? You don't reheat anything for Friday night? Just serve at room temp? Did I ever say that or are you mixing me up with some other dessert??

cold kugel doens't sound that appetising to me. unless it's the creamy type. why not make it in advance but not bake it until just before shabbos?

Or maybe she's just mixing you up with someone else who's easy, pretty, cheap and lowfat!! Nervous

Sorry, couldn't resist, I've been waiting to make a joke about that since this thread started!!!

I never said cold. I said room temperature. And yes, my guests said it was fabulous.

Yes cookie, you told me that last shavuos when I made the other recipe (using broccoli, cauliflower)

Of course I reheat food for Friday night... what the heck made u guys think I don't? I honestly do not believe I'd have guests coming back week after week if I served cold chicken, potatoes, soup, etc.

Pinktichel- Thank you for the recipe! It was a hit. My kids do not eat all veggies, but it made a nice presentation and it was eaten. Send some more recipes our way!!

cookie, I heated it up on the hot plate this week (Raisin made me feel guilty that I serve "cold" kugel) and it came out perfect. It was hot, firm and so tasty. Hardly have anything left and got 20 pieces out of it.

As I was making it, I realized where ppl may have gone wrong. Did you strain the zucchini really well? It is a very liquidy vegie so I strain it for a while, mash, and strain it again.

Whatever! Just thought I'd share! LOL

This recipe also has a great future for Pesach, with a few adjustments, of course.

Has anyone tried this with pesach modifications? (I.e. oil in place of mayo) Any opinions on whether that will work?

Broccoli kugal-
2 pounds broccoli-cooked
2 eggs
some spices
1 tb lowfat mayo

mash and bake for one hour on 350. Just made it this week and was tasty and not fatty.

Help! I'm making this now. I left the zucchini peel on, as instructed, but now that I'm mashing, I've got big pieces of peel sitting in the mush. Is that right? Is the peel supposed to somehow get mashed up too?

don't worry about the peel. Mash it as well as you can. I always have chunks but it all blends together (kind of) when baked. Make sure to strain the zucchinni really, really well. I leave it in the strainer for a while and keep tossing it.

Fabulous

Wow, that's really low fat. I make that with one lb. broccoli, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup mayo, fresh garlic, and onion soup mix. Yum!!

I'd like to make this tomorrow.
Don't see why I can't boil the pot and carrots together. And is the zucchini boiled and mashed with the skin on, or grated uncooked?

pinktichel, do you think I can make this recipe using sweet potato, carrot and zucchini cooked in chicken soup?

don't see why not, assuming you have enough of each...

I boil it with the skin on. It MUST be well strained to prevent the kugel from going soggy.
If you like spinach, you can use that as a top layer as well.
