shnitzel- what is your recipe for onion kugel
cookie lady- how do you make roasted red potatoes with mushrooms and onions
bashinda- what is your recipe for five layer apple kugel
and does anybody have a good recipe for a chick pea salad with out olives?
thank you!

I pieced together the recipes I found on here and on other websites (I had to search hard to find anything). I've made it twice and it has gone over very well but warning you that the recipe is not very precise. I think it is better with a little less flour or it is too doughy and also I don't use close to that amount of oil so if using less flour I use less water/soy milk. You can see how much flour is around the onions and go according to your taste.

5 large onions, sliced thin
2 eggs (or 3 if it looks like it needs more)
(you can add 1 teaspoon onion soup mix but I don't like using mixes)
1 cup flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper
3/4 cup water or soy milk
1/2 cup oil, or less (I use a few tablespoons just enough to coat the onions so they can cook properly)

Caramelize onions in oil (cook them until they are very brown, u can add a drop of balsamic vinegar to them at the end of caramelizing to add more flavour), they should cook for a while, around 20 min. Mix everything together and bake 350°F for 1-1/2 hours until ready.

(BTW I tend to find recipes a bit stifling so I like to play with them so ask questions if this is incoherent)

Thanks buzzinmom. I made this tonight and we really enjoyed it.
If you or someone else has a chance, can you check up the tehina amount again? Is it 1/4 c or 1/2 cup?
(Two people posted the recipe for me, and I just realized that one says 1/4 c and one 1/2 c. Thanks.)

cookielady, do you still make the chick pea recipe according to the long drawn out preparations, or have you figured out an easier way to make this? Just curious, because we enjoyed it but the effert was a bit much an extra salad.

I just noticed your post now, I'm not at home and won't be until tomorrow I'll try to post it before shabbos

So I made stuffed cabbage this week instead because I was in the mood for it. I don' t know what else I'm making...probably assorted salads and kugels and buffalo wings because DH has to have them every week. I bought a bag of shredded cabbage now I have to figure out what I'm doing with it. I am not the most organized this week Rolling Eyes

Yes. I have made it simpler. I diced the purple onions and zucchini and quickly sauteed it until tender/crisp. Much faster but the same taste.
