This reimagined Passover Kugel offers a delicious, modern take on a traditional favorite, perfect for those seeking a lighter alternative. Instead of the usual noodles or potatoes, this version uses zucchini, resulting in a dish that's both satisfying and lower in carbohydrates. The kugel retains the classic sweet and savory profile that makes it so beloved.
A creamy filling, made with sour cream and cottage cheese, creates a rich and comforting base, complemented by a touch of sweetener to enhance the overall flavor without being overly sweet. The zucchini's subtle taste makes it an ideal foundation, allowing it to soak up all the surrounding flavors beautifully. As it bakes, the zucchini transforms, becoming tender and slightly caramelized, adding a gentle sweetness that balances the tanginess of the dairy.
The dish is a delightful medley of textures, from the slightly chewy zucchini to the soft, almost sponge-like filling. And, of course, the crispy top is a must, adding a satisfying crunch that contrasts perfectly with the creamy interior. Feel free to personalize this kugel to your liking.
The addition of nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, can introduce a delightful nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch. Experiment with baking spices like vanilla, nutmeg, or ground clove to add warmth and depth to the flavor profile. A pinch of cinnamon or allspice can also create a comforting and aromatic experience.
For those seeking an even lighter texture, consider using shirataki in place of zucchini. This will create a kugel that is exceptionally soft and delicate. No matter how you choose to prepare it, this kugel is sure to be a flavorful and memorable addition to your Passover celebration or any special occasion.
