Matzo Ball Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the matzo meal, salt, black pepper, and optional fresh dill.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and vegetable oil until well combined.

  3. 3

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    In a large pot, combine chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the broth simmer for about 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

Cooking Matzo Balls

  1. 6

    Shape the Balls

    After the matzo mixture has chilled, wet your hands and shape the mixture into golf ball-sized balls.
