KISHKE
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.

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.
