Broccoli Kugel

Studentchef's Note:

This makes for a great Passover dish. And not alot of eggs either, as you will find that many Passover dishes are heavily dependant on eggs, but not this one. Alot of broccoli goes into this dish as this is the main ingredient. I like to use both the florets and the stems as the whole tree is edible, although you will find that the florets will cook faster than the stem.

I know Kugel are meant to be a side but I quite often enjoy them for breakfast and this one made a nice breakfast. Really liked the fact that it was not overly eggie and also really enjoyed the little bits of broccoli that got crispy. I made as written, thanks for the post.

A very nice kugel. I was especially pleased that there was no oil or other fat added. Because of that I was also a little afraid that the kugel would stick to the pan and therefore I put some parchment paper on the bottom of the pan. The kugel came out beautiful and done after exactly 45 minutes. I used both florets and stem and they were both done with a little bite to it, not mushy, great. The eggs combined with the matzo meal was rather thick and I would perhaps use less meal next time to get it more runny and easier to blend in with the veggies. Furthermore I will saute the onion and the garlic before mixing it in since both had a little of raw taste. This is certainly something I would make again and not only for Pesach! Thanks for posting. made for Kugelthon 2010.
