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

A friend and I were standing in line at a fast-food restaurant, waiting to place our order.There was a big sign posted. "No bills larger than $20 will be accepted."The woman in front of us, pointing to the sign, remarked, "Believe me, if I HAD a bill larger than $20, I wouldn`t be eating here."
