                           Elaine J's  Vegetable Matzah Kugel

This kugel is really nothing more than baked matzo brie with sautéed vegetables
and savory herbs.  I didn’t use a recipe but based on how I made it, here is a guide.

Crumble the matzo sheets and soak them, then squeeze excess water out of
them.  I used about 12 sheets to fill one 9 x 13 casserole dish.  

Mix one egg per sheet of matzo, or use some whole eggs and some egg beaters,
if you wish.

Sauté whatever vegetables you have or like.  I used one very large onion, about 6
stalks of celery, two stems plus their clusters of broccoli, ½  a zucchini, ½  a
yellow squash, a bell pepper, and a handful of parsley.  I also added some raw
spinach at the end.  Sautéed cabbage and cauliflower would be excellent
additions.  

For seasonings I used salt and pepper, some vegetable bouillon, marjoram and
basil.   Other herbs might be very good.  I also used some Parmesan cheese for
flavor and to absorb the liquid – perhaps 3  or 4 tablespoons for that amount.  

Coat the casserole dish with olive oil and then brush the top with (olive) oil to get a
browned topping.  Sprinkle with paprika.  

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 40-45 minutes until mixture sets
and top is brown.  


                      Elaine J's Dressing for carrot salad

Make a basic Russian dressing using mayonnaise and chili sauce (though
ketchup would be fine).  Add about ½- 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and
about 1 generous tablespoon of sour cream.  If you weren’t going to use this
dressing in a sweet salad, you could add some minced onion.  

If you like raisins in the salad, plump them in the microwave with some water for
about 1 minute.

To give the carrot salad a distinctive flavor, add some grated ginger.  


                        Elaine J's Dressing for cucumber salad

I use rice vinegar because it’s not as strong as regular, sugar or a sugar
substitute, and dill, dried or fresh, and a little (olive) oil to smooth out the acidity.  
Add salt and pepper to taste.  Combine before submerging cucumber slices so
the ingredients real
