Sweet Potato Kugel

Happy Passover!

I took a traditional potato kugel recipe and turned it into my own healthier variation by changing the ingredients.  My recipe is still kosher and even if you're not Jewish, it's a healthy side dish for any meal.  Of course, you know it's organic if you've been reading my blog!

Ingredients:

5 sweet potatoes, finely grated

2 onions (diced)

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup matzah meal  (rice flour or whole wheat flour)

1/4 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed)

1/2 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp ceylon cinnamon

1/2 tsp ginger

3 organic eggs (slightly beaten)

fresh ground black pepper 

Preparation:

Preheat oven 350 degrees.  

1)  Saute onion in olive oil until golden brown.

2)  Place the finely grated sweet potatoes in a colander and squeeze down the sweet potatoes with a large spoon to eliminate extra moisture.  Empty into a bowl and add the eggs, matzah meal, orange juice and seasonings.  Blend well.  Mix the browned onions in with all ingredients.

3)  Add the mixture to a greased baking pan and smooth the top.  Bake for 1 hour until golden on top and crisp at the edges.  

Serves 10

Have a healthy and happy holiday!
