Vegetarian Mazo Ball Soup!

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

INGREDIENTS

For the matzo balls:
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil)
2 tablespoons vegetable stock
1/2 cup unsalted matzo meal
1 tablespoon minced flat leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill)
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the broth:
6 cups vegetable stock
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
2 carrots, cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bay leaf
2 green onions, including green parts, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley
salt and pepper


Matzo balls: stir together eggs, butter and vegetable stock in a small bowl. Add the matzo meal, parsley, dill and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until combined. Cover & refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to 8 hours.

2. Boil a large pot of water over high heat; add some salt. Using wet hands, make the dough into 12 1-inch balls. Drop the balls, one at a time, into the boiling water. Reduce heat, simmer for 30 minutes. Matzo balls should be plump, tender and cooked.

3. While the matzo balls are being prepared, make the soup. Sauté onion, celery, and carrots in a large pot or oven with olive oil, until vegetables are slightly brown, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Add stock and bay leaf and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in parsley and green onions and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf and taste. Adjust seasonings to suit taste.

Serve: spoon a cooked matzo ball into a bowl and ladle soup over them.

Get the foil and your steamer ready. Put an inch of water in the bottom and bring it to a simmer while mixing the ingredients together. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Add the garlic, olive oil, broth, soy sauce, and liquid smoke, and stir until mixed.

Split dough into 6 parts and shape into 5″ logs. Place logs on piece of aluminum foil and roll up tightly, twisting ends. (The tighter you roll them, the more they’ll keep their shape.) Place sausages in steamer and steam for 40 minutes. Now, put your toppings on like sour kraut!
