Definitely a minhag amongst chassidim. Shabbos rosh chodesh for example would get an extra kugel.

If you care about your waistline I wouldn’t recommend taking on this minhag which is really something just for fun and not based on anything

I once tried for diet cabbage kugel instead of potato kugel. Recipe I got was no flour. No onions. No sautee. Just a bag of shredded cabbage oil eggs salt & pepper. Bake. It's amazing how close to real kugel it tasted


Hi can post the measurements and baking time? I would love to try this and any bigger yummy and healthy recipes.

It’s just a silly thing the chassidishe rebbeim tell the little kinderlach


Why say silly? You can say it's a custom to make special days special.
I know, chassidim are big on their food. We made sure to have farfel for a Shabbos night seuda with chassidish relatives. (It's actually quite nice.)
Even if there's no deeper meaning, so it's kavod hayom.

Never heard of this. But my Grandmother had her own personal tradition to make two kugels on Shabbas Chanukah. The story goes that she was supposed to get married motzei Shabbas Chanukah. Her Chossen who’d been drafted into the Czar’s army was taken prisoner of war shortly before the wedding date. Time passed and everyone told her to look for someone new because her Chossen was never coming back. She waited anyway. After the war ended and the POWs were freed her Chossen came back. They got married motzei Shabbas Chanukah, three years later than planned. Her Chossen told her that what kept his spirits up as a POW was the memory of her kugel. So from then on she made two kugels every Shabbas Chanukah for the rest of her life.

Tastes very similar to potato kugel for some reason.
You fry up onions and mix them with 1 bag of shredded cabbage + flour (potato starch on Pesach) + eggs, salt and pepper.
Easy and delicious.


I want to try. Do you have exact numbers and measurements or you just mix what seems good.

I make a cauliflower kugel. 1 bag defrosted cauliflower (we buy frozen cuz of bugs), 1 large onion, 3 eggs, salt pepper, garlic powder. 2 T oil. Puree and mix well. 8x8 sprayed. Baked at 350 until brown.

Sometimes I do the same with broccoli, but I don't like it as much.

What a beautiful story.

You should continue the tradition to keep the story alive.

I assume it is sourced in the Be'er Heitiv 419: . כתב שכנה''ג ראיתי מדקדקים כשחל ר''ח בחול עושים מאכל אחד יותר לכבוד ר''ח וכשחל בשבת עושים מאכל אחד יותר ממה שעושים לכבוד שבת ומשמע בירושלמי שהוא סעודת מצוה כמו פורים ועיין ט''ז.

It doesn't quite extrapolate to include Chanukah also, but it's not a far leap. (It extrapolates even less when it's R"C Adar or Nissan under discussion.)

Saute 2 onions
Mix into
1 bag shredded cabbage (400g.)
3/4 c. cup potato starch or 1 c. flour (see note)
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs
1 tbs onion soup mix
Salt pepper to taste
Mix. Pour into greased 8x8 psn. Bake at 350 'till golden.

Note: I actually make it with potato starch year round. I like it better than with the flour.
Either way, don't add all the flour/starch at once. You may find that the batter is too dry with the whole amount.
For those who don't use soup mix, just add more salt.

This. Totally.
Aside from everything else, it's very important for the younger generations to hear about the hardships of previous generations, and if that can be conveyed through a beautiful and tasty culinary tradition מה טוב.

I used to also think that it was a "silly thing told to children" until I saw a source. I'll check when I get home but it was definitely a source that most or everyone holds of . Although there was no mention of kugels, it just says that when there's an extra Torah taken out, you should have an extra tavshil. I'm assuming in Europe it was always easier to do kugel, me personally, I make extra dessert.

I cook up a bag of cauliflower, greenhouse grown ( no bugs), drain & mash. 24 oz. Add 3 eggs. Salt & pepper. U can also add in chicken soup mix or onion soup mix. Little bit. Add some lite mayo like 5 T or 1/2 cup. Mix with fork. Bake on 350 for about 45 min.

Yes - that's why I thought of this thread. Triple torahs = 3 kugels, again, for the second time this year.
Good way to finish up the chametz actually Smile
