In three separate bowls combine: 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 eggs + 1/2 cup matzoh meal each. Season with salt & pepper. In bowl #1 add and mix gefilte fish mixture, lemon zest, juice & dill. In bowl #2 add and mix salmon and carrots. In bowl #3 add and mix the white fish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and double line an 16" x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper. Layer the fish evenly in the pan with the gefilte fish mixture as bottom layer, salmon mixture as second/middle layer, and white fish mixture as top layer. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60 minutes. Internal temperature of loaf should read 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate once cooled. To remove loaf from pan, place pan upside down on a baking sheet. Slice and serve chilled on a bed of lettuce with horseradish. This should be made at least 24 hours in advance, and can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. Short Cut: Call your fish monger and order the ground fish ahead of time. This will save you time and avoid a big mess and stink in the kitchen. Think Out of The Ice Box: Try using red pepper in place of the carrots. Swap out cilantro and lime zest in place of the dill and lemon zest. Rinse chicken under cool water until water is clear. Season generously with kosher salt & pepper and place in pot with chopped vegetables, herbs & bay leaves. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for an hour, constantly skimming fat/scum off of top. Remove chicken breast, cool chop and reserve for later. Continue to simmer soup for 3 - 4 hours. Cool and strain. Add reserved chicken and fresh chopped carrots, celery, and dill to the strained broth. Reheat, check seasonings and ladle soup over warm matzoh balls Source: My mom, of course! Short Cut: Pick it up at your favorite delicatessen. Think Out of the Ice Box: Use a soup mix and add your own chopped vegetables when serving. Step 1: Place all the ingredients in slow cooker pot. Step 2: Turn slow cooker on high and set for 4 hours. Step 3: Strain soup and remove bay leaf, chicken feet + bones. Step 4: Adjust seasoning (often times needs more salt) and enjoy! Chicken feet can be found in freezer section at grocer. Due to the gelatinous make up of the feet, it adds to the flavor and gives the soup a nice yellow hue. Combine egg yolks and chicken shmaltz. Then add the matzoh meal, chopped dill and salt & pepper Add seltzer water to egg yolk mixture (a few tablespoons as needed) to make mixture moist. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold in egg whites to mixture. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Meanwhile bring soup to a boil. Make golf ball size balls out of mixture, and place in boiling soup. Boil 35 minutes, then turn down heat to a simmer and serve. Season brisket, fat side up. Cover brisket with sliced carrots, celery, onions, fennel & garlic. Pour canned tomatoes on top. Mix beer/coke, broth & brown sugar together. Pour over brisket. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees F. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F and cook another 3+ hours. For a tender brisket, the internal temperature should reach 180 - 200 degrees. Remove from oven and let brisket cool to room temperature. Then cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Remove from refrigerator to slice. First slice off fat and then slice brisket against the grain into thin pieces. Place back in pan with sauce. Reheat uncovered at 300 degrees F after pouring more BBQ sauce over brisket. When reheating the meat you want the internal temperature to be 165 degrees. Short Cut: You can’t rush a brisket or you’ll end up with dry, tough meat. Follow this recipe and I promise that you will have a home run! Alternative Method: If you want to splurge, try using a veal cut for an extremely tender brisket.Gefilte Fish Terrine
