Suzanne F Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Looks delicious for anyone. If I can find cauliflower at a reasonable price, I might make it to bring to the second seder. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Looks great. I like the idea of the nut topping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OTB Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 We are also going to try just steaming the cauliflower and combining all the vegetables, herbs, eggs and matzo in a food processor to make a more finer consistency kugel so if feels more like a potato one.

Suzanne F Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I would worry that a Vitamix would give too fine a puree if you're not careful. It's nice to have a little bit of texture. But YMMV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 i need to incorporate more cauliflower into my low carb diet... Pulse a few times in a processor for cauliflower couscous. Grate on a coarse grater and saute for faux-home fries. Grate on fine grater, saute with curry powder. Parboil the whole head, rub with olive oil and roast in very hot oven until browned. (or microwave flowerets and dunk in Velveeta thinned with milk. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We happened to have a little matzo meal because we were handed the "assignment" of bringing a side dish. The 1/4 cup of matzo meal to that much vegetable content and eggs is pretty small considering this feeds probably 8-10 people. And we don't eat very big portions anymore anyway.

StephanieL Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 The hostess at the Passover seder I went to made a cauliflower kugel, and it was really good. It was very close to a traditional kugel--no nuts on top or anything like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OTB Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 A nice side benefit to this kugel is the same mixture, with more egg, matzo meal and some cheese makes great latkes. That's what we did with the leftover kugel, we just mixed it up with egg, matzo meal and cheese and fried it up. https://instagram.com/p/BEsHnJOyScG/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Now THAT must be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OTB Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Now THAT must be great. It was better than the kugel, actually. Then again anything with a ton of cheese fried in bacon fat... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
