The shrimp balls consisted of finely chopped shrimp in a doughy batter, and the result was uncannily like a matzo ball, only smaller, firmer and shrimp-flavoured. |
Try making an olive tapenade, or spread store-bought tapenade on your favourite cracker or matzo. |
Unleavened bread or matzo is eaten to remember the Exodus when the Israelites fled Egypt with their dough to which they had not yet added yeast. |
The matzo symbolizes both the Hebrews' suffering while in bondage and the haste with which they left Egypt in the course of the Exodus. |
I laugh at the thought of matzo ball soup warming on the convent kitchen stove. |
I watched through the window as the matzo balls were served with a spoon, one by one, into the chicken soup. |
