RFCJ RECIPE ARCHIVE
Posted by : Maxine Wolfson Gefilte Chicken/False Fish - meat
I just got a copy of the Empire Anniversary Cookbook, filled with oodles of unusual recipes. This one caught my eye, since I have a ton of turkey in the freezer, and it should substitute well. Gefilte Chicken/False Fish "From Our Family to Yours" 3# chicken cutlets 5 large Bermuda onions 2 eggs 1/2 cup Farina salt and pepper to taste sugar to taste matzo water Grind chicken, 2 onions, and piece of Matzo (to clear the grinder). Mix with eggs, salt, pepper, and sugar. Add the farina. Dice remaining 3 onions. Place in a large kettle, add salt, pepper, and sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. With a large soup spoon, make balls from the chicken mixture and place into water, in one layer. Do not crowd! Let them cook until they turn a whitish color. Move to the side of the kettle, and place more balls onto the onions. Continue until all the mixture has been cooked. Remove the balls to a container that can be covered after it cools down. Strain the broth, reserving the liquid. Grind the onions and add to the liquid. Refrigerate until everything is chilled. Serve the balls covered with the sauce or the sauce in a gravy boat so that each person can take as much as desired. [Recipe from Sheila Deutsch, Brooklyn, NY]
