Ingredients
- 2 cups matzo meal
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
- 0.25 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 10 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 3 cups onion, chopped
- 2 bunches green onions, chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
- 0.5 cup chopped celery
- 4 extra large eggs
Method
- Set your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to preheat.
- In a large bowl, mix the matzo meal with the sugar, salt, black pepper, and poultry seasoning, then set this aside.
- Bring 2 cups of broth and 1/2 cup of canola oil to a boil in a large saucepan, then stir in the matzo meal mixture. Allow this to cool.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil and the butter in a large cast-iron skillet. Cook the onions and green onions until they soften and turn translucent, which should take about 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms and celery, cooking for about 10 minutes until the celery softens.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and the eggs, then stir this into the matzo meal mixture. Gently fold the cooked vegetables into this mixture and return everything to the cast-iron skillet.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes until brown, stirring once during cooking.
