Servings: 6

 

Ingredients:

1½ tablespoons black peppercorns

Note #2: I cook the matzo balls directly in the chicken stock rather than water. Don't let the matzo balls sit in the broth however, or they'll soak all of your broth away.

1 tablespoon canola oil

4 carrots, sliced

5 carrots, chopped in 4-5 chunks

5 ribs celery, chopped in 4-5 chunks

chicken meatballs (recipe above)

1 4-pound whole organic or kosher chicken, giblets and neck removed from cavity

I use Manischewitz Matzo ball mix. Follow package directions and add chopped parsley or dill if desired. Keep warm until served.

1 egg, beaten

3 cups egg free noodles

1 head garlic, cut in half crosswise (don't remove skin)

1 pound ground chicken breast

2 tablespoons kosher salt

kosher salt and pepper

1 leek, white part only

Note #1: Matzo balls need to rest in the refrigerator for at least ½ hour prior to cooking.

½ cup matzo meal

½ onion, minced

1 onion, cut in half crosswise (don't remove skin)

⅛ cup parsley or dill

¼ cup chopped parsley

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
