source : Love And Knishes by Sara Kasdan NOTE; THESE RECIPES ALL CALL FOR SCHMALTZ - CAN SUBSTITUTE MARGARINE, BUT THE TASTE WILL BE DIFFERENT, BUT NOT AS MUCH CHOLESTEROL.

Cheese: Saute onions in butter until golden.. Blend together all ingredients and fill dough.

POTATO: Saute onions in butter or schmaltz (or oil) until golden. Blend together all ingredients and fill dough.

MEAT: Saute onion in schmaltz until golden. Grind beef and lung together.

Combine all ingredients and fill dough.

KASHA: Saute onions in schmalts until golden. Combine with kasha. Add seasonings nd just enough gravy to moisten. Fill dough.

***The number of onions in a recipe depends on how much you like them.

CHICKEN: Combine all ingredients.

NOTE;Knish fillings may be made from all kinds of leftover meat or poultry, combines with mashewd potatoes, cooked rice or kasha. Try a filling of rice, egg, cinnamon-sugar mix, and raisins. Anything too good to throw away may be put in knishes.
