Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 -10 matzos
1 cup chicken broth or 1 cup stock, warm
3 eggs, beaten with a little broth
1 1/2 lbs ground beef or 1 1/2 lbs lamb
1 onion, chopped
1 -2 garlic clove
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup raisins, soaked in warm water
1 1/2 lbs spinach
1/2 lb button mushroom, sliced
2 medium onions, diced
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Prepare the meat filling. In a medium pan, cook the meat with the onions and a little olive oil until browned, drain off fat. Add the raisins, parsley, allspice and cinnamon, cook for another couple of minutes. Set the meat mixture aside.
  • Now for the vegetable filling! In a little olive oil, cook the onions until translucent, then add the pine nuts and sliced mushrooms, cook for a couple minutes longer. Stir in the spinach (with a bit of water if the spinach isn't frozen) and nutmeg. Cook until the spinach is wilted, set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and soak the matzah in the warm broth until slightly softened and flexible.
  • Grease a 9x13" glass pan, and place two soaked matzo in the bottom of the dish, with the edges overlapping slightly.
  • Spread a layer of the meat mixture atop the matzo, followed by more matzo. Add a layer of the vegetables. Continue until the filling runs out, then top the pan with a final soaked matzo layer.
  • Drizzle the beaten egg/chicken broth along the top of the dish.
  • Bake until golden brown on top, about 30-45 minutes. If the top layer of matzo curls up or gets too crispy, you may want to pour a little additional broth over it.
