Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh spinach
- 1 large onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 medium zucchini
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup matzo meal
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach and blanch for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain, squeeze out excess water, and chop finely.
Finely dice the onion, grate the carrots, and grate the zucchini. Set the vegetables aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the grated carrots and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well-beaten. Stir in the matzo meal, the remaining vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add the chopped spinach and sautéed vegetables to the bowl. Mix everything together until fully combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and press down gently with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the kugel is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
