In the Kitchen With ... Rivkah Katz, Alpharetta
Nominated by friend Judith Green: "As a member of Chabad of Alpharetta, Rivkah is constantly inviting large groups of people to her home for Sabbath dinners, holiday dinners and luncheons. ... Rivkah is just one great cook."
"Growing up in my house, my grandmother would cook all the traditional Jewish foods for the holidays, " said Katz, a special education lead teacher for Fulton County schools since 1984. Her maternal grandma, Ruchel, and her mother and father taught her to cook. Her paternal grandfather had a deli in Brooklyn [N.Y.] for many years called Ben and Sol's, she says.
A kugel is a baked egg pudding, often made with noodles or potatoes. This one, made with zucchini and a touch of carrot, is a colorful (and flavorful) companion on the dinner plate.
Note: For Rosh Hashana or other uses, substitute all-purpose flour where matzo meal is called for.
Hands on time: 15 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes Serves: 12
Ingredients:
4 large zucchini or 6 to 8 small zucchini
2 carrots
1 medium onion
6 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 to 2 cups matzo meal
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grate the zucchini, carrots and onion in a food processor, or hand-grate the zucchini and carrots and finely chop the onion. Place the grated vegetables in a large bowl. Add the eggs and oil, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 cup matzo meal. If the mixture is very liquidy, stir in more matzo meal, 1/4 cup at a time. (As the eggs bake, it will absorb much of the liquid.)
Place in a well-greased 13-by-9-by-2-inch pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick placed in the center of the kugel comes out clean.
