With Rosh Hashannah coming up this week - here's a great easy recipe for what my jewish doctor says is the best he's ever had! Enjoy Ingredients:
stock |
1 chicken carcus |
2 ribs of celery |
1 onion |
2 carrots |
14 cups of water |
3 tbsps kosher salt |
1 tsp fresh ground pepper |
matzo balls |
1 cup streit's matzo meal |
4 large eggs |
1/4 cup oil (vegetable or canola) |
1/4 cup seltzer |
1 tsp salt |
4 turns of fresh ground pepper |
soup |
10 cups homemade stock |
2 tins college inn chicken broth |
2 boullion cubes (chicken flavor of course) |
1 carrot diced finely |
2 garlic cloves minced |
1 onion minced |
1 rib celery minced |
Directions:
1. For the stock the best results come from the chicken bones of an already cooked chicken - so enjoy a chicken dinner and save the bones and the close meat. Cook this until the vegetables are nearly disintergrated. Remember do not add your salt till the boil point has been reached or your stock will be cloudy. Approximately 3 hours.
2. Cool and strain off all the meat, vegetables and bones. Discard.
3. Cool and strain off any fats.
4. For the Matzo Balls Beat the eggs. Add seltzer,oil, salt and pepper. Mix well
5. Add Matzo meal and stir thoroughly. Refrigerate for 1/2 to 1 hour.
6. Fill a 5 quart pot 3/4 full of water and bring to a rolling boil add 3/4 cup of kosher salt to the water and bring back to rolling boil.
7. Moisten the palms of your hands with cold water form your matzo balls - I use a tsp to measure the amount - approximately 1/2 in diameter. Drop matzo balls into boiling water.
8. Cook for at least 30 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl.
9. Soup:
10. In a 6 quart pot add 1 tsp of Olive oil when heated add your onion, carrots, celery and garlic. Over low heat bring to fork tender.
11. Add the remainder of the ingrediants. Add cooked matzo balls and allow to simmer for at least 30 minutes.
