I have a feeling that if you put all these layers in at once, the potato layer will never cook. And it's definitely not going to cook in an hour. And it will be fairly mushy.

it's all boiled and mashed first, so it sounds like it would layer nicely and also bake easily.

This looks great. Do you have any shortcuts for cooking three different vegetables at once?

I ran out of carrots so I'll make it tomorrow. Plenty of zucchini going soft, so this'll be a good use of them. DD is excited I'm making it.

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

I made it for Shabbat. I will give reactions onsunday. But my reaction is - TOO MUCH washing up.
3 pots/bowls and the blender stick.
Sad

Hope the taste is worth it.

I imagine you could boil all the veggies together in one big stock pot and then mash separately.

Do you talk to urself, often? LOL

Glad he liked it... I must admit, I told Dh that I'm a bit nervous... all these ppl trying it this week...

Sorry Hila... I suppose I'm used to washing up a lot...I always use loads of utensils when I cook... it doesn't bother me anymore.

Cl, I'm thrilled to hear you like it!

y didnt I think of that? I cooked each veg in a seperate pot - that was my only thing against it, all the washing up!
But I only used one bowl for mashing, once the potatos were done I poured them into the pan and then mashed the next layer etc.

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?

OK, so I made it. It took 5 hours shock

to "set" in the oven. It tasted delicious, looked nice, but I think it needed more eggs & some matza meal or flour to bind it. BTW, I minced the onions (I was making chopped liver anyway) & that made it nicer. Cookie, it was more solid today on top of the blech, not watery at all.

Now for my next "event" I'm making shopaholic's salmon puffs. Even I can't kill them (I hope.)

Well - in my house they loved it. Even the youngest fussy 13 year old

I did see that the kisuim layer was very watery, so I added a few spoons of wholewhheat flower to it.

Baked about an hour or so.

Now I wish I had a deepish glass sided dish to bake it in.

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

Bubby, sorry it took so long... no problems here and my oven is wacky!

Sorry guys, SIL and I have never had a problem with this kugel.

I warmed it up uncovered and it came out perfectly. The only thing is that the zucchini seemed to have been leached of all color and looked almost as white as the potato layer. Maybe I cooked it too long?

Am posting the chocolate pecan pie in a minute in the dessert section. It came out awesome!

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...
