Categories     side dish

Time 2h

Yield About 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons chicken fat, suet or vegetable oil
1 medium to large onion, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into chunks
1 cup matzo meal
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon hot paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a double layer of foil 12 inches long, topped with a sheet of parchment paper the same size.
  • In a skillet over medium-low heat, heat 4 tablespoons fat or vegetable oil, and sauté onion and garlic until soft and golden. Cool slightly and pour everything, including fat, into a food processor equipped with a steel blade.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons fat or oil, celery, carrot, matzo meal, salt, pepper and paprika to food processor. Pulse until vegetables and fat are incorporated into a paste. Transfer mixture to parchment paper, and shape into a knockwurst-like cylinder about 9 inches long and 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Enclose parchment and foil firmly around cylinder, folding ends under.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook until kishke is solid, 45 to 60 minutes more. Unroll kishke to expose surface; return to oven just until top is lightly browned and slightly crisped, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly, and cut into rounds. If desired, serve as a side dish with pot roast or roast chicken.

This is traditionally stuffed inside intestines and then cooked on top of a cholent. Nowadays most roll it up in foil or baking paper. Definate unique taste. See instructions to learn about cholent. I am also posting a cholent recipe.

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup oil
2 stalks celery
2 carrots, peeled
1 large onion
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
pepper

Steps:

  • Put first four ingredients in food processor and process with steel knife until consistency of thick paste.
  • Remove to bowl.
  • Add last 4 ingredients and mix well.
  • Shape into a log on a large piece of foil or baking paper.
  • Roll the foil down to seal.
  • Freezes great at this point.
  • Ideally placed in the top of a pot of cholent (a special stew that is prepared before the Sabbath and cooks for approx 20 hours and is eaten with lunch).
  • This is pulled out and served separately.
  • Can also be made in a pie dish and baked at 350 for 45 minutes, but it definately won't have the deep rich color and taste.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the kishke and the broth. This will result in a more flavorful dish.
  • If you can't find kishke, you can substitute it with kasha or barley. However, kishke is the traditional ingredient and will give the dish a more authentic flavor.
  • Be sure to soak the kishke in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to soften it and make it easier to digest.
  • When cooking the kishke, be sure to simmer it gently. Boiling it will make it tough and chewy.
  • Add the kishke to the broth towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent it from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the kishke with a variety of toppings, such as fried onions, chopped hard-boiled eggs, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Kishke is a delicious and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables, and it is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. If you are looking for a new and exciting soup recipe to try, I highly recommend giving kishke a try.
