Time 55m

Yield 18 to 20 matzo balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 extra-large eggs, separated
1/2 cup good chicken stock
1/4 cup rendered chicken fat, melted
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for egg whites
1 cup matzo meal

Steps:

  • Whisk together the egg yolks, chicken stock, chicken fat, parsley, and salt. Stir in the matzo meal. In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are stiff. Whisk them into the matzo mixture until it is smooth. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or until the mixture is thick.
  • Form balls the size of golf balls by shaping them with 2 spoons, rolling them with your hands, or scooping them with a small ice cream scoop. Drop them into simmering chicken stock and cook for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked and puffed, turning once. Remove and serve hot in chicken soup.

GOOSE-MATZO BALLS WITH DRIED GINGER AND PARSLEY



Goose-Matzo Balls With Dried Ginger and Parsley image

This recipe came to The Times in a 2012 magazine article by David Sax about the goose-matzo-ball soup he discovered at Fülemüle, a tiny restaurant in Budapest which serves Hungarian-style Jewish dishes. The recipe, created by then chef András Singer, calls for goose schmaltz in place of chicken, hand-crushed matzo instead of preground matzo meal and a bit of dried ginger to cut through the richness. The combination yields what Mr. Sax called "the greatest matzo ball on earth."

VEGAN MATZO BALL SOUP



Vegan Matzo Ball Soup image

The actress Natalie Portman was seeking a good vegan matzo ball soup, and the result is this recipe: soft matzo balls that hold together thanks to a little help from chickpeas. Matzo meal, potato starch, a little olive oil and lots of ginger, dill and cilantro lend plenty of flavor, while chickpea water (known as aquafaba) provides binding that would otherwise come from eggs. You can use the liquid from canned chickpeas, but the liquid from dry chickpeas soaked, then cooked in water works best. Ginger and nutmeg are characteristics of German-Jewish matzo balls, while the Yemenite addition of cilantro and dill adds even more brightness and flavor. Natalie is right: "It's a very sad world without good matzo balls."

Time 4h

Yield 4 to 6 servings (about 20 matzo balls)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup matzo meal
1/4 cup potato starch
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, or to taste
1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 to 1 cup chickpea cooking liquid (from home-cooked chickpeas or about two 15-ounce cans, preferably low-sodium)
8 cups vegetable broth
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 kohlrabi, peeled and diced
1 leek, white and light green parts only, cleaned and diced
1 yellow or white onion, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
Lots of chopped fresh herbs (such as dill, cilantro, parsley or basil), for serving
Zhug or harissa, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the matzo balls: In a medium bowl, mix the matzo meal, potato starch, parsley, cilantro, ginger, dill, nutmeg, baking soda and baking powder with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the olive oil and enough chickpea liquid to make a slightly sticky mixture that's not too wet or loose, about the texture of oatmeal. (The matzo meal will absorb lots of the liquid.) Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • Make the broth: In a large pot, bring the broth to a boil. Add the carrots, celery, kohlrabi, leek, onion, olive oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer, covered, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • When the matzo mix is cold, return the broth to a low simmer. Dip your hands in cold water and form 1 1/2-inch matzo balls, about the size of a large walnut. You should have about 20 matzo balls.
  • Carefully drop the matzo balls into the broth, cover and simmer without disturbing them until tender but firm, about 20 minutes. Divide among bowls. Garnish with lots of fresh herbs, and, if you want more punch to your soup, serve with some zhug or harissa.

BEST MATZAH BALLS

These can be tricky to get the right consistency. After years of experimenting with the basic recipe, I found these to come out soft but not falling apart. If you like firm/hard-middle matzah balls, either reduce the seltzer or add 1/4 cup matzah meal.
