Sweet Millet Kugel With Dried Apricots and Raisins
5.0(103)
Millet, a light, fluffy gluten-free grain that is a good source of magnesium, manganese and phosphorus, lends itself beautifully to both sweet and savory kugels. In fact, this kugel turned me into a millet convert
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, blend the cottage cheese until smooth. Add the milk, honey, eggs, vanilla and nutmeg and blend until smooth. Scrape into the bowl with the millet.
03Stir together the millet and cottage cheese mixture. Stir in the apricots, raisins and lemon zest. Scrape into the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and dot the top of the kugel with them. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, until the kugel is set and beginning to color on the top
04Remove from the heat and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes (longer if possible) before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature
