Layered Vegetable Kugel Preparation
1. Steam or microwave the carrots and cauliflower in separate pots until just tender. 2. Puree the carrots in a food processor or blender and return to their pot. Rinse the processor or blender container and puree the cauliflower; return to its pot. Puree the spinach; place in a small saucepan. To each vegetable add 1/4 cup of egg substitute and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. 3. At this point, add the thyme to the carrots; the garlic and nutmeg to the spinach. Add 1/4 cup matzo meal or bread crumbs to each and puree. 4. Coat individual glass souffle cups or an 8- inch springform pan with olive oil cooking spray; sprinkle with matzo meal or bread crumbs. 5. Make layers in this order: first cauliflower, then spinach, then top with carrots. (The dish may be prepared a day in advance up to this point.) 6. Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F oven 40 minutes for a large mold or 15 minutes for custard cups or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. To serve: Let stand 5 minutes before removing pan ring. Place on platter and if desired, serve topped with Fresh Tomato Sauce and sprinkled with fresh thyme leaves or parsley; surround with steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets. Fresh Tomato Sauce: 1. In a saucepan, simmer the shallots in the water and wine 2 minutes, so that the alcohol evaporates. 2. Puree 3 of the tomatoes and chop the other 3. Add to the saucepan and simmer 2 to 3 minutes. 3. Add a bit of the oil at a time, while whisking the sauce. 4. Add the mint, sugar, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes. 5. Spoon over the vegetable kugel or serve on the side. Note: This kugel is nice to serve for holiday and family dinners as it can be prepared the day before. The selection of vegetables can be varied to suit individual tastes.
