Scallion And Ginger Matzo Ball Soup Recipes

JOAN NATHAN'S MATZO BALL SOUP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the eggs, schmaltz, stock, matzo meal, nutmeg, ginger and parsley. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Gently mix with a whisk or spoon. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours or overnight.
• To shape and cook the matzo balls, fill a wide, deep pan with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. With wet hands, take some of the mix and mold it into the size and shape of a Ping-Pong ball. Gently drop it into the boiling water, repeating until all the mix is used.
• Cover the pan, reduce heat to a lively simmer and cook matzo balls about 30 to 40 minutes for al dente, longer for light. If desired, the cooked matzo balls can be transferred to chicken or vegetable soup and served immediately. Alternatively, they may be placed on a baking sheet and frozen, then transferred to a freezer bag and kept frozen until a few hours before serving; reheat in chicken or vegetable soup or broth.

Steps:

• Lightly char onion halves and shallot on open flame.
• In a large pot on high, add star anise, cloves, coriander seeds, cardamom, and cinnamon. When the spices are brown and fragrant, take them off the heat and place them into a tea ball strainer.

Boil together, then lower heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. Remove any impurities, whole items, or foam that rises to the top.
• After 30 minutes, remove and cool chicken thighs and reserve and cool 3 tbsp of stock. Allow the remaining stock to simmer for 1.5 more hours.
