Layered Mushroom Kugel

LAYERED MUSHROOM KUGEL

I came up with this recipe to satisfy my love of mushrooms and as a dish that fills my gluten-free needs. I’ve made this pareve but to make it more decadent use dairy ingredients.

Servings

8 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter plus 3 tablespoons vegan butter melted, divided
  • 10 – 12 oz. mushrooms chopped, crimini, shitake and portabello about 4 cups chopped
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 1 cup sour cream substitute
  • 2 eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease 9 in round baking dish. 
  • Heat 1 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon vegan butter in a large skillet. Saute the mushrooms, onions and garlic over medium heat about 20 minutes, until soft. Mix in 3/4 teaspoon salt.  Add the wine and stir until absorbed.
  • While the mushrooms are cooking prepare the cornbread mixture.  In a bowl, mix together the cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt and baking powder. Add the soy milk, sour cream substitute, eggs and remaining 3 tablespoons melted vegan butter. Take 1/3 of the sautéed mushrooms and add to the cornbread mixture. Mix gently. It’s o.k. if there are lumps!
  • Spread half the cornbread mixture into prepared baking dish. Spread the mushroom mixture and then top with remaining cornbread mixture.  Bake about 20 minutes.

    I love this recipe!

    I am a big fan of mushrooms, and this recipe is perfect for mushroom lovers! It tastes amazing and goes great with certain soups, and many southern/country meals that we are used to in my area.

    Also, I absolutely love how easy it is to make! I don’t think I will ever make regular corn bread again! This is so better and more flavorful!

    This is an excellent recipe. There is little sugar and is incredibly low in fat. I have baked a dish that was very similar and was extremely tasty.

    I really love this type of recipes! Its simple enough for blonde (read:me) to make it and also ok for my celiak husband. Thanks a lot for it!
    I’d try with only one clove of garlic, but mild mushrooms need some flavour so maybe 2 isnt such a bad idea?

    BTW I put dried parsley in a sieve, and sifted it over the top, which really improved the appearance.

    Well, I voted for this, because I love mushrooms. But if I make it again, I will double the mushrooms, onions and wine. I already added pepper to the cornbread, but I think it still needs something more. Maybe some herbs.
    I think 3 layers, with 2 layers of mushrooms will distribute the taste better, as well.

    We made this kugel for a family simcha…it was a hit! The local supermarket only had portabello and button mushrooms at the time so that’s what we used. We love the unique flavor of the cornmeal with the mushrooms …we think it will be an excellent SUKKOT dish to have this year!
