HOW TO MAKE KISHKE

Steps:

• Line a 9- x 12-inch jelly roll pan with foil. Tear 2 (15- x 15-inch) sheets of parchment paper and 2 (15- x 15-inch) sheets of foil. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse onions, carrots, and brisket scraps (if using) until very fine. Heat a sauté pan, with beef or chicken fat or evoo, over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and brisket (if using) and cook until golden, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and paprika and continue cooking for another 3 minutes. Transfer mixture, being sure to scrape all the fat, back to food processor and with machine running add matzo meal until the mixture forms a thick dough that holds together when pressed. Add salt and pepper. Divide dough in half and form 2 (9-inch) logs on each sheet of parchment. Roll parchment around the log and twist ends to seal. Wrap each log in a sheet of foil. Roast kishke for 1 hour. Unwrap and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes until browned and crispy. Slice and serve or add to cholent.

KISHKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a double layer of foil 12 inches long, topped with a sheet of parchment paper the same size.
• In a skillet over medium-low heat, heat 4 tablespoons fat or vegetable oil, and sauté onion and garlic until soft and golden. Cool slightly and pour everything, including fat, into a food processor equipped with a steel blade.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons fat or oil, celery, carrot, matzo meal, salt, pepper and paprika to food processor. Pulse until vegetables and fat are incorporated into a paste. Transfer mixture to parchment paper, and shape into a knockwurst-like cylinder about 9 inches long and 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Enclose parchment and foil firmly around cylinder, folding ends under.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook until kishke is solid, 45 to 60 minutes more. Unroll kishke to expose surface; return to oven just until top is lightly browned and slightly crisped, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly, and cut into rounds. If desired, serve as a side dish with pot roast or roast chicken.
