ArgentinaAshkenaziShabbat Pareve 65 min 6 servings Easy

An Argentine Jewish adaptation of kugel made without dairy to suit a beef-centered table. It can be made from noodles or potatoes and relies on oil rather than butter, producing a crisp, golden exterior that pairs well with roasted meats.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fine egg noodles or angel hair pasta
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock or water
  • 2 tbsp additional oil for the pan

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the noodles until just tender, then drain well.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil and sauté the onion until golden and sweet.

  3. 3

    Whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, paprika, sugar, and stock or water.

  4. 4

    Combine the noodles with the onion mixture and the seasoned eggs.

  5. 5

    Oil a baking dish generously and spread the kugel mixture evenly inside.

  6. 6

    Bake at 375°F (190°C) until the top is browned and the edges are crisp.

  7. 7

    Let the kugel rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  8. 8

    Serve as a pareve side with grilled or roasted beef.

Kosher notes

Prepared with oil rather than butter so it may be served alongside meat.
