Kishke
- 6 tablespoons chicken fat, suet or vegetable oil
- 1 medium to large onion, cut in 1-inch pieces

- 1 cup matzo meal
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 18 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 18 teaspoon hot paprika
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with a double layer of foil 12 inches long, topped with a sheet of parchment paper the same size.
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, heat 4 tablespoons fat or vegetable oil, and saute onion and garlic until soft and golden.
- Cool slightly and pour everything, including fat, into a food processor equipped with a steel blade.
