My kitchen sometimes doubles as a stage for new and different recipes. Family and I have a library of tried and true favorites but like to try ethnic foods and regional cuisine. Pop enjoys the television series,
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and because it was highly recommended by Guy Fieri, this Matzo Ball Soup was on the menu last Saturday (if anyone else had suggested this, I'm not sure Pop would have been so eager to try it!) Anyway the soup was identical to my own homemade soup made with a shredded home-cooked chicken, broth, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, bay leaf and egg noodles. The dumplings, which are standard fare in Jewish homes but something we had never tried, included matzo meal which is ground from an unleavened, cracker-like bread, and oil, chicken fat, and eggs. They were tender and fluffy and floated nicely in the lovely chicken soup. Pop really liked them, however, I (the UNpicky eater!) did not. Will we make them again? Unlikely...
