GLUTEN-FREE MATZO BALLS (KNEIDLACH) - PASSOVER SOUP DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Beat egg with salt and pepper. Add remaining ingredients, and combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Add additional potato starch, if necessary, until the batter is firm enough to be rolled into balls with your hands - It will still be sticky, but not too wet to handle. Using clean, dry hands roll a tablespoon of dough at a time into balls. Submerge in boiling water or soup.
• Allow to cook for approximately 10 minutes or until each ball has puffed up a bit and is cooked all the way through.
• For Vegetarian do not use Chicken fat.

JEWISH CHICKEN SOUP WITH MATZO BALLS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, egg white and salt. Whisk in matzo meal, oil and 3 Tbsp cold water.
• Cover and chill the mixture at least 1 hour or overnight.
• In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add parsnips, carrots and onions, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes.
• Gently roll the chilled matzo dough by level teaspoonfuls into balls, dropping them into the simmering broth as you work. Cook the matzo balls, covered, for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid; the broth must simmer rapidly to allow the matzo balls to expand properly.
• Uncover the pot, add broccoli and mushrooms and simmer until the broccoli is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with dill or parsley and serve.
