Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Carrots
- 2 stalks Celery
- 1 large Onion
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil or schmaltz
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Water or vegetable broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and roughly chop the carrots, celery, and onion into smaller pieces for easy processing.
In a food processor, pulse the carrots, celery, and onion together until finely minced, but not pureed.
Transfer the minced vegetables into a mixing bowl and add the breadcrumbs, flour, vegetable oil or schmaltz, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and water or vegetable broth.
Using clean hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients until they form a cohesive dough-like mixture. Adjust with a small amount of water or breadcrumbs if the mixture is too wet or dry.
Divide the mixture into two even portions and shape each into a log approximately 8-10 inches long. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the kishke logs in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the logs from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before slicing into rounds.
Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy with your favorite gravy or sauce.
