my mother always made this for the 2nd Passover Sedar dinner with roast brisket. I remember the matzo balls as being huge and covered with the brisket gravy. i never asked my mother for the recipe and thought it was gone forever, but i purchased the Holocaust Survivor Cookbook and there was the recipe. My mother always sliced the leftovers and browned them in parve margarine for part of a yummy 3rd day of Passover dinner.
