Joan Nathan's Matzo Balls image

This is Joan Nathan's own recipe for matzo balls. It's lightly spiced for a nice (but not too different) change from the plain matzo ball. Dough requires a few hours of refrigeration.

Time 35m

Yield 12 matzo balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons vegetable oil or 3 tablespoons chicken fat
6 large eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 1/4 cups matzo meal
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Mix the chicken fat or vegetable oil with the eggs, salt, nutmeg, ginger, matzo meal and parsley together in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
  • Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Take the matzo mix out of the refrigerator and, after dipping your hands into a bowl of cold water, gently form balls the size of large walnuts. Add the salt to the water and drop in the balls.
  • Simmer slowly, covered, for about 20 minutes, remove from water with a slotted spoon, and add to the soup.
