Roasted Vegetable Kugel

Inspired by Ashkenazi cuisine and the flavours of the Mediterranean, this satisfying gratin is bursting with flavour. It makes a hearty side dish and served with salad is a meal in itself.

We’ve replaced the traditional margarine and matzah meal with heart-healthy olive oil and oats. Aubergines contain the antioxidant nasunin, particularly in the skin and outer flesh. Omit the za’atar if someone is allergic to sesame.
