Kosher Revolution'S Onion-Stuffed Knaidlach
- 3 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons chicken stock or seltzer
- 5 tablespoons chicken fat or canola oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus additional
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)
- 3/4 cup matzo meal
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- In a small bowl, combine the eggs, stock, 3 tablespoons of the fat, salt, pepper, parsley and cilantro, if using. Add the matzo meal and blend. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
- In a medium skillet, warm the remaining fat over medium-high heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and saute, stirring, until translucent and beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. Drain the onions on a paper towel and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Reduce the heat so the water boils slowly. (Too rapid boiling can make the knaidlach break when cooking.) Using wet hands, form 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons each of the matzo meal mixture into a disk held in one palm. Place 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of the onion in the middle of the disc, pinch to enclose, and roll between both hands until a ball is formed. Drop into the water. Repeat with the remaining mixture and onions.
- When the knaidlach float to the surface of the water, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the knaidlach with a slotted spoon, transfer to soup, and serve.
