Kosher Recipes: Sweet Kugel Dishes

When you're looking for kosher recipes, you're going to see a lot of kugels. These Jewish casseroles are relatively simple to make and typically involve egg noodles or potatoes. Kugels have been around for centuries — and sometimes they taste like it.

To mix it up, we recommend turning this traditionally savory side dish into a sweet dessert. Check out these ideas from www.kosherista.com:

Sweet Potato Kugel

Straddling the fine line between dessert and side, this kugel dish will never get too sweet, since the recipe calls for one sweet potato and one regular. Carrot, apple, and lemon round out the kugel for an interesting, delectable taste.

California Noodle Kugel

Featuring a classic egg noodle base, this kugel gets its sweetness from the fresh-squeezed orange juice, golden raisins, and sugar required for preparation. There's a little bitterness in there too, as you'll be incorporating granny smith apples and a splash of lemon juice.

Yerushalayim Kugel

Say that three times fast! A favorite among kosher food recipes, this kugel boasts an irresistible combination of black pepper and caramelized sugar. Serve hot or cold — just don't try to share it with too many people!
