Ruchel's Zucchini Kugel

Hands on time: 15 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients:

4 large zucchini or 6 to 8 small zucchini

2 carrots

1 medium onion

6 eggs, beaten

1 tablespoon oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 to 2 cups matzo meal

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grate the zucchini, carrots and onion in a food processor, or hand-grate the zucchini and carrots and finely chop the onion. Place the grated vegetables in a large bowl. Add the eggs and oil, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 cup matzo meal. If the mixture is very liquidy, stir in more matzo meal, 1/4 cup at a time. (As the eggs bake, it will absorb much of the liquid.)

Place in a well-greased 13-by-9-by-2-inch pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick placed in the center of the kugel comes out clean.

Gratin of Fennel, Leeks and Potatoes
Serves 6


4 leeks, including 2" of the tender green tops, halved lengthwise, carefully washed and well dried
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
salt and pepper
3 fennel bulbs, stalks and any bruised outer leaves removed
4 red potatoes, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4-in. thick slices
2 c. heavy cream*
1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. Parmesan cheese

*NOTE: Plain vegetable stock or a mixture of half cream and half vegetable stock may be substituted for the heavy cream.

Position a rack in the upper third of an oven and preheat to 375°F. Butter a 9" x 13" baking dish.

Cut the leeks crosswise into slices 1/2" thick. In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden (about 30 minutes). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cut the fennel crosswise into slices 1/4" thick.

Fill a large saucepan 3/4 full with water, salt it lightly, and bring to a boil. Add the fennel and boil until tender, 8 to 10 min. Drain and set aside.

Refill the saucepan 3/4 full with water, salt it lightly, and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until tender yet still crisp (10 to 12 minutes). Drain and set aside.

Arrange a row of fennel slices along one short end of the prepared baking dish. Arrange a row of leeks slightly overlapping the fennel. Then arrange a row of potato slices slightly overlapping the leeks. Repeat as necessary. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

In a bowl, combine the cream (and/or vegetable stock) and milk. Pour it over the vegetables; the liquid should just cover the surface. Sprinkle evenly with the cheese.

Bake until most of the cream is absorbed and the top is golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 min., then spoon onto warmed plates and served.

I have this as a photocopy from my DSIL -- I think it's from a Williams-Sonoma cookbook.

Baked Parmesan Zucchini Rounds

Ingredients:
2 medium sized zucchini
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic salt & freshly ground pepper, optional.

Directions:
Place oven rack in center position of oven. Preheat to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil (lightly misted with cooking spray) or parchment paper.

Wash & dry zucchini; cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Arrange zucchini rounds on prepared pan, with little to no space between them. If desired, lightly sprinkle zucchini with garlic salt & freshly ground black pepper.

Use a small spoon to spread a thin layer of Parmesan cheese on each slice of zucchini. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until Parmesan turns a light golden brown. (Watch these closely the first time you make them & pull them out of the oven early if the Parmesan is golden before 15 minutes). Serve immediately.

Dove's notes: I've baked these at both 425 degrees & 450 degrees. 15 minutes is the perfect time in my oven, at both temperatures. I've only used salt & pepper since dh is not a fan of garlic, & lately just pepper. If it needs salt I add it after tasting one. I've started using a Parmesan/Reggiano cheese blend -- very yummy :) . I also use more than 1/2 a cup of cheese -- however much I need to almost completely cover each piece. I don't like the taste of cooking spray so use non-stick foil instead. Enjoy!
