Monday Night Meals: Week 13

New York Giants VS. Washington Redskins

Matzo Balls

Ingredients:

3 eggs

¾ c matzo meal

salt and pepper

4 c chicken broth

water

Directions:

           

            In two medium mixing bowls, separate the yolks and whites of the eggs. Using a mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Beat the egg yolks until they are thick and light yellow. Gently fold the yolks into the whites. Add the matzo meal to the eggs, and gently fold in. Place into refrigerator for at least twenty minutes.

            Fill a medium pot with water, add around a teaspoon of salt to water and bring to a boil. Wet hands with water, separate the matzo in half, separate the two, then separate the four, ending with eight balls. With wet hands, gently roll the dough into balls. Drop all the balls into boiling water. Allow the balls to boil for fifteen to twenty minutes; the balls will be floating and look fluffy.

            Meanwhile, place the chicken broth in a medium pot and bring to a simmer. When the matzo balls look fluffy, place the matzo balls into the chicken broth. Allow the balls to cook in broth for five to seven minutes. Remove from liquid, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Enjoy! Go Giants!

2 cloves garlic

1 lb. trout
