As Hanukkah approaches, it feels like the celebrations have arrived a bit too soon. Just last week, we were indulging in turkey, and now the kids are buzzing with excitement over presents. Honestly, I can’t believe we’re already talking about gifts when Evan’s birthday is next week, too! Oy vey!
But let’s not get too caught up in the chaos. In the spirit of the Festival of Lights, I’d like to share a beloved recipe of mine. It’s a much better gift than my wrapping skills, which are, let’s just say, less than stellar.
For those not familiar with Jewish cuisine, there are definitely some dishes you might want to avoid—like gefilte fish and chopped liver. Trust me, you can live happily without ever tasting those. However, you absolutely must try matzo ball soup, crispy potato latkes, and warm challah straight from the oven. Certain foods know no boundaries, and if you haven’t experienced these yet, it’s time to dive in—just make sure to do so after finishing this article!
Kugel is a dish that often raises eyebrows, especially for those unfamiliar with it. While every Jewish friend I’ve served my kugel to claims it’s the best they’ve ever had, non-Jews often find the concept of sweet noodle pudding as a side dish a bit bewildering. But I have a feeling you’re going to embrace its deliciousness.
Here’s my ultimate kugel recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 package of cooked and drained egg noodles
- 1 pint of Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 stick of melted butter
- ½ pound of cottage cheese
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of dried cranberries
- Graham cracker crumbs (for topping)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for the graham cracker crumbs.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about an hour, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
The finished product may not win any beauty contests, but I assure you, it’s delicious! Wishing you a joyful Hanukkah celebration, my friends.
