Equipment

  • 1 Pan

Ingredients

  • 2 Spanish onions
  • 4 carrots
  • 2 cups brisket
  • ½ cup beef
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cups matzo meal
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Onions, carrots, and brisket scraps (if used) should be finely chopped in a food processor.
  • Over medium heat, melt evoo or beef, chicken, or both in a sauté pan. Cook the brisket (if using), onions, and carrots until brown, stirring periodically.
  • Continue cooking for a further 3 minutes after adding the garlic and paprika.
  • Return the mixture to the food processor, scraping off any remaining fat as you go. While the food processor is running, add the matzo meal to the mixture to create a thick dough that stays together when pressed. Including salt and pepper.
  • On each parchment sheet, divide the dough in half, then shape two (9-inch) logs from it. Wrap the log in parchment, then twist the ends to seal. Each log is encased in a foil sheet.
  • For an hour, roast the kishke. Remove the wrapping and cook for a further 15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  • Serve as is or include into a cholent.
