Recipe summary

A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don?t like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!

For the Broth:

  • 1 chicken carcass, meat removed and reserved for another use
  • 3 carrots, cut into chunks
  • 3 stalks of celery, cut into chunks

  • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme

For the Broth:

  1. Roast chicken carcass in a 400-degree oven until golden brown. Place into a stockpot along with the carrots, celery, onions, parsley and thyme. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil and then let simmer for 1 hour. Strain.

For the Matzo Balls:
