Eggplant Caviar |
|
|
Of Russian derivation, eggplant caviar should be served very cold. It
can be made well in advance and will keep up to 2 weeks with refrigeration.
1 pound eggplant
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped tomato
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Make an inch-long slit in eggplant to release steam and cook by
baking in a 350o oven. Or, cut into cubes and steam until tender.
When cooked eggplant is cool enough to handle, peel and chop very
fine. You should have about 1½ cups.
Combine eggplant with remaining ingredients and chill.
Serves 8 |

Matzo Balls |
|
|
Everyone household has its favorite matzo ball recipe. What
distinguishes this from all others is that it is made with whole
wheat matzo. Serve in your favorite vegetable broth or in the Tamari
Broth below.
4 whole wheat matzos
2 eggs
1 tablespoons oil
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons seltzer or plain water
Crush the matzos into fine crumbs in the blender, processor, or with
a rolling pin. You should have 1 cup crumbs.
Beat eggs with oil and salt. Stir in crumbs. Add seltzer and mix to a
smooth batter. Chill for 30 minutes or longer.
To cook, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a wide 5-quart pot. Add
1 teaspoon salt. Shape chilled dough into 1-inch balls using a light
hand. Drop into simmering water. When they rise, cover and simmer for
30 minutes. Drain.
To serve, place in bowls and cover with hot soup. If matzo balls have
cooled down before they are served, place them in the soup pot and
reheat for a few minutes.
Makes 12-14 matzo balls; 4-6 servings |
