- Joan Nathan
|
Makes about 20 fishballs 1˝ inches in diameter. Parve.
|
INGREDIENTS:
|
One 4-5-pound haddock (fillets,
cut and ground), plus the head, skin, and bones-if only smaller fish
are available, you can add 1-2 more fillets
2 quarts plus ˝ cup water
1-2 large onions, peeled
Several sprigs parsley
6-7 large carrots
5 tbsp sugar
4 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 small onion, grated
1 egg
2 tbsp matzah meal or cracker crumbs.
|
|
DIRECTIONS:
|
- Put the bones, skin, and head of the
haddock in a large soup pot. Cover with water to about 2 inches
over the bones (about 2 quarts). Add the peeled onions and
parsley. Cut the carrots on a slant and add them to the pot.
Bring to a boil. Add 4 tbsp sugar' 3 tbsp salt, and pepper to
taste. Remove scum and simmer.
- Meanwhile, grind the fillets and place in a
bowl. Add the grated onion, egg, matzah meal, 1 tsp salt,
pepper, 1 tbsp sugar, and ˝ cup water. Mix well.
- Dip your hands in cold water and form balls
1˝ in diameter (tinier if you want them for appetizers). Drop
the balls in the simmering soup and bring to a boil again. Then
simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
- Remove the balls carefully and extricate
the carrots. Pour the liquid stock through a strainer and
chill. The bones can be discarded.
For an hors d'oeuvre, serve the tiny fishballs
with a toothpick on a round of carrot, using horseradish as a dip.
As a first course or summer luncheon dish, serve with carrots, some
fish stock, a sprig of parsley, horseradish, and hallah.
