Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 8″- 6 cup capacity soufflé dish, or an 9″ x 13″ baking pan.
Measure matzo meal – 1/3 cup. Take out 1 1/2 tablespoons, add to buttered dish, swirl to coat. Reserve remaining matzo meal.
Heat a two quart pot to low-medium heat, add butter. When melted add the onions and garlic. Stir and cook for 5 minutes until softened, but not colored. Add the sunchokes and water, reduce the heat to low, stir well and cover. Cook until softened, 10 minutes.
Add the kale, spinach, salt & pepper and stir until it starts to wilt, then cover until fully wilted, but still bright green. Remove from the heat. Cool slightly. Add to a food processor and pulse until puréed – but with some texture.
Add 5 egg yolks and the remaining matzo meal to the food processor, pulse to just combine. Remove the contents to a large bowl with a rubber spatula.
Beat the egg whites until firm and glossy. Add them to the large bowl in three additions, gently combining.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until just set.
Crack open the oven door, and let the Kugel-Soufflé stand for 10 minutes. Cool on a trivet.
Serve, or cover tightly with plastic warp and refrigerate. Rewarm gently when needed. Can make a day or two ahead of time.
Cuts into perfect wedges or squares when very cool. Delicious cold too!!
