Vegetable And Fruit Kugel Cupcakes Recipes

FRUIT COCKATIEL CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Put the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, salt and food coloring.
• Spread 1 tablespoon of the frosting on each cupcake. Fan 3 mango slices along the top edge for the crest. Use a dab of frosting to secure a blueberry to each banana slice; place two on each cupcake for the eyes. Add 2 grape slices for the beak.

POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Melt the schmaltz (or heat the oil) in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, thyme and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the onions to a large bowl; add the potatoes and chives. Gently stir the mixture together.
• Whisk the eggs and salt in a medium bowl. Pour evenly over the potato mixture and fold in to combine. Spread and press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake until the kugel is set and you see the sides become a deep golden brown through the glass baking dish, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle each portion with more chives.

MAGIC FRUIT-AND-VEGGIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners or mist with cooking spray.
• Whisk the flours, wheat germ, bran flakes, flax seeds, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Beat the egg and brown sugar in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add the olive oil, vanilla, milk, vegetables and fruit and mix well. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir just until blended.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cup about three-quarters of the way. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar, if desired. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack.

• Place farfel in a strainer and pour about 4 cups boiling water over it to moisten. Add farfel to the vegetables along with pine nuts, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat and let cool, about 10 minutes.
