18 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Whole eggs | |
| ¼ | cup | Oil; olive oil recommended |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Nutmeg |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Garlic powder |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Onion powder |
| ½ | cup | Matzo meal |
| 2 | tablespoons | Water |
| 2 | tablespoons | Instant chicken soup mix |
Directions
Blend the eggs and oil together, but do not beat.
Add th balance of the ingredients except the chicken soup mix; blend with a fork.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
In a large pot, bring 5 quarts of water to a boil and add the instant chicken soup mix. Simmer slowly.
Using a teaspoonful at a time, form into small balls about the size of a walnut and drop into the boiling water. Cover and boil on low heat for at least 30 minutes. Allow to cool in the liquid, then gently remove to a flat container.
These can be frozen. Freeze on a flat sheet and then place in a heavy freezer bag. To reheat, drop in chicken soup and heat until ready to serve.
Yield: 18 small matzo balls.
Cholesterol Note: I do not recommend using egg substitute in this recipe.
However, instead of 2 whole eggs, I use 1 whole egg and 1 egg white only.
Handle gently.
