My sister made this amazing matzoh granola. Got it from a recipe in a kids Passover book.

I have a brisket in the slow cooker today. The recipe is from America's Test Kitchen "Slow Cooker Revolution" cookbook. If anyone has a slow cooker I recommend this book enthusiastically. It transforms what you might normally think of as crock pot mush into seriously fabulous food.

I must confess I like my Matzoh Balls DENSE! That soup looks particularly good because it has so much other stuff in the broth- chicken, vegetables, herbs! I don't know why Matzoh Ball Soup has become a clear broth with only the slightest hint of chicken- as my aunt used to say it tastes like you washed a chicken in it!

Waaay late to this party, but I had to contribute. There is a jarred horseradish that is a thousand times better (hotter) than the Gold's brand PalJoey posted. It's made by Silver Springs, but the brand name isn't even on the front label.



It's the most amazing horseradish you'll ever taste - it takes the top right off your head. Highly recommended if you have allergies/sinus problems. A taste of this stuff will cure you in a heartbeat.

I couldn't find Gold's or any other kind of proper horseradish sauce where I am, so I made it myself. A warning to those who decide to shred horseradish root in a food processor - it is painful to inhale once you open that lid. But hey, the sauce is just horseradish, beet, cider vinegar, and sugar, and it pretty much tasted right.

@humbug: Can you buy that horseradish on line?

I also like my balls DENSE. After seeing that photo, I'm dying for the soup. I'm sick with a cold also, so you can imagine.

A trick for making light, fluffy matzo balls that I learned at my bubbe's knee many, many, many years ago - separate your eggs and beat the whites until firm (like for a meringue) then add in the beaten yolks and matzo meal and the rest of your ingredients.

Don't bother with the seltzer water. I can't tell you the proportions of matzo meal to eggs, I only learned to do it by touch. You sprinkle in some of the matzo meal, fold it in, then sprinkle more, fold, and so on until the texture is just tacky. Not TOO tacky. Sticking it in the fridge for an hour or two is what sets it up. This will make the lightest, fluffiest matzo balls you've ever had. (I think Ina Garten has a recipe that separates the eggs, but she adds all sorts of crap to them that I hate - I'm a matzo ball purist).

~tiny~, You have to have the large, oval slow cooker. The brisket just barely fits!
