How to cook deliciously - Pastrami Matzo Kugel

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 325º F. In a large bowl, whisk stock, eggs, deli mustard, whole-grain mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. Crush matzo into irregular pieces, then add to stock mixture and toss until fully coated. Let soak 10 minutes.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil until shimmering. Cook pastrami, turning occasionally, until seared and browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

3. Stage

In same skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened and edges are beginning to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and caraway seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add kale and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted, about 2 minutes.

4. Stage

Return pastrami to skillet and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly. Add pastrami mixture, along with the sauerkraut, to matzo mixture and toss until combined.

5. Stage

Pour remaining 1 tablespoon oil into a medium baking dish. Using a brush or your fingers, spread oil to coat bottom of dish. Carefully add matzo mixture to prepared dish, being sure not to crush matzo too finely.
