I'm Julie, and I live with my husband and three young daughters in New South Wales suburbia, Australia. This is the online journal I kept until recently, of how we are trying to live more simply & sustainably in suburbia.

This blog is on indefinite hiatus but please feel free to look around my archives for some inspiration in your own journey to living more lightly and sustainably.

Vegetarian Potato Kugel

This is another great freezer dish, I always cook at least two and freeze one for later. Excellent hot or cold with salad in summer or vegetables in winter, as a main dish or a side dish for BBQs and the like. Also very versatile; mix up the vegies as you see fit, although I generally keep the potato and change the carrot for other vegies in season, and add other fresh herbs, depending on what I have to hand. Sliced tomato on top and fresh basil mixed in is a regular favourite variation in summer.

Vegetarian Potato Kugel




Ingredients

3 medium potatoes
2 small carrots
1 small onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 egg
1 tbs oil
2 tbs chopped parsely
2 tbs wholemeal breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk powder
15g butter, cubed
1/2 cup grated cheese


Method

1. Grate potatoes, onion and carrots, and combine with the crushed garlic.

2. Lightly beat the egg with the oil, and pour over the grated vegetables. Stir in the parsley, breadcrumbs and milk powder.

3. Spread into a greased 20cm pie dish and dot with the butter.

4. Bake in a moderate oven (180'C) for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and bake for a further 15 minutes.

Serve hot or cold. Freeze for up to 4 months.

Hi Julie
Welcome back! I missed your regular postings- hope you had a great time and aren't snowed under with holiday laundry. How did the garden fare while you were away? I'm going to make this recipe up tonight- thanks!!

Hi Maggie,
No, I haven't, it binds the wet ingredients together, and it's quite a wet mix. I suspect you could use extra breadcrumbs as an alternative, but I've not tried it.

Hi Dixiebelle,
Quick, easy and freezes well - gotta love that!

Hi Tammy,
I hope you enjoy :-)

Hi Tricia,
Thanks mate :) I love having a few extra meals up my sleeve in the freezer, and there's usually at least one of these in there (along with several zucchini slice!).

Hi Nicola,
Ah yes, the laundry pile is disgustingly huge. Sigh. The garden went OK, the advantage of it being mainly overcast and things not growing much at the moment.

Cheers, Julie
