With the weather changing, people will begin using their ovens more, so I thought I'd share this recipe now.
I saw it on a Jewish website I belong to that is filled with wonderful recipes like this one.
Sweet Potato Kugel
This deliciously healthy twist on traditional potato kugel has all of the "Jewish soul-food" street cred
as the standard recipe, without all the heavy baggage.
Adapted from Aviva Allen's The Organic Kosher Cookbook
Kugel Base:
6 small sweet potatoes, grated
3 apples, peeled, cored, and grated
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup raisins
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt (sea salt is best)
1 and 1/2 cups water
Topping:
1 and 1/2 cups pecan halves, chopped
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter
Pinch of salt
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground ginger
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together (except for the topping), then press into a large glass baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together topping ingredients and set aside.
Place baking dish in oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove and cover with topping mixture. Return to oven for another 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand for about 15 minutes. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
