I must use 10 – 15 onions every week cooking for Shabbat on Fridays. I add them to soup, different Israeli Salads and sauteed vegetables and this great kugel recipe.
This week I was blessed with an abundance of onions. They were big, just harvested and perfect. I decided to make an onion kugel or pudding for this week’s side dish. (here’s a great recipe for potato kugel)
Onions are just so full of amazing health giving properties. Onions are sources of dietary flavanoids which have been proven to reduce the risk of heart disease and, in addition, they decrease the risk of blood clots. They also increase “good” cholesterol and lower “bad” cholesterol in the bloodstream. It’s not surprising that the Talmud (Nedarim 66a) tells us that onions are good for the heart!
Here is this easy and tasty recipe you will love:
