Whole Matzo-Matzo Balls image

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.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h10m

Yield 15-16 matzo balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 whole matzos, broken in half
6 tablespoons parve margarine
1 medium onion, very finely minced (optional at my house)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 large eggs, well beaten
8 tablespoons matzo meal

Steps:

  • Place matzos in large bowl.
  • cover with hot water.
  • Heat margarine in large frying pan.
  • cook onion until transparent.
  • Add salt and pepper to onion.
  • Drain matzo and squeeze out as much water as possible.
  • Add drained matzo to onion mixture.
  • Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to large bowl and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in eggs and several tablespoons matzo meal.
  • Add more matzo meal as necessary to form mixture into balls.
  • They should be thick enough to hold their shape, but not "clumpy".
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Bring salted water to a boil(5-6 quarts).
  • They will sink to the bottom and then rise as they cook.
  • Turn heat down, cover pot and let simmer to 20-25 minutes.
  • Drain well with a slotted spoon.
  • The lady who posted the recipe suggests serving them in hot chicken soup.

These matzo balls were a bit too bland for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of matzo balls, but I thought these were pretty good. They were light and fluffy, and they didn't have that weird aftertaste that some matzo balls have.
