1 cup almond flour
3/4 cup oil
1 stalk celery
1 carrot
1 onion
salt
paprika

(I don't remember exact measurements for spices, sorry)

blend everything together, wrap, cook as usual. alternatively, bake it or use it as stuffing.

yes, it's still a ton of oil. experiment with it a bit.

interesting. I wonder if that would be too much moisture? you want the kishka to hold together to a certain degree.

Someone posted this on fb today:
1 carrot
1 potato
1 onion
1/2 c matzah meal
1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1/4 c water
1/2 c oil
it will be thick put some onto a sheet of aluminium foil roll and twist the ends it should look like a loaf either you can bake it in the oven and eat it like that 350 for 45-1 hour or you can bake in the oven for 20 -25 min (partially cooked) then put it into your chulent. when you cook the loaves put them into a 9x13 so you dont get oil on the bottom of your oven

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this, but it has less oil than usual.

This isn't kishke, but a healthier alternative.
Peel and cut off the neck of a large butternut squash (shaped like kishke roll) and put it on top of your cholent.

Strain zucchini first if worried

That is one healthy looking recipe, I'd love to try it.I
I'd love to find something other than foil for wrapping - I don't like putting foil in my cholent. Anyone use anything else?

Yes, I do it with parchment paper.

my pesach recipe had 1/2 cup of oil to 3/4 c potato starch.
the spice and spirit has same amount of oil to 1 1/2 cups flour, so I tried that.... will see how it comes out. I sorta mixed different recipes based on ingredients I have...and I was using up my potato starch...so will see how it comes out. thanks Smile

Wrap a whole sweet potato & place in cholent. Some say it tastes like kishka. YMMV.

No, just scrub and place on top.
Also a head of garlic to spread on Challah

I use a small zucchini in place if celery in the kishke. it's cheaper for me

I make the same sort if recipe...grind up carrots onion and celery in processor, add garlic and paprika, salt and pepper. Then a bit of oil and flour till it comes together. I bake it first, wrapped I parchment into logs. Then I freeze the rolls and use it like that, unwrapped, in the cholent.
