Salt And Pepper Matzo Recipes

Steps:

• Coarsely crumble matzo crackers into a fine mesh sieve set over a large bowl; reserve crumbs in bowl. Place sieve under cold running water until matzo is softened, about 15 seconds; drain. Stir softened matzo, eggs, milk, crumbs and salt until combined. , Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add half of the matzo mixture. Cook, without stirring, until bottom is golden brown, 3-4 minutes; flip. Cook until bottom is golden brown and eggs are cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to platter. Repeat with remaining butter and matzo mixture. Serve hot with maple syrup if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and then the onion. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until very well browned and starting to caramelize, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add 3/4 cup water, stirring the onion and scraping the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, covered, until very soft and golden, about 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in 2 tablespoons water, then scrape the onion into a bowl.
• Bring a large kettle or saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, return the skillet to medium-high heat (no need to wash). Add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, then the mushrooms. Season with the rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in a little water, scraping up any bits in the pan, let it evaporate and transfer to the bowl with the onions. Rinse the pan.
• Place the matzo in a colander set inside a large bowl. Pour in the boiling water and let sit for 1 minute. Pull the colander out of the water and let drain.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs well and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the mushroom mixture, the softened matzo and the parsley and stir very thoroughly.
• Heat the rinsed skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil and then pour in the matzo mixture and smooth the top. Cook, undisturbed, until firm on bottom and edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the oven and cook until set in the middle and golden brown on top, 12 to 15 minutes. (If desired, broil for 1 to 2 minutes to brown the top.) Loosen from pan if needed with a rubber spatula and slide onto a cutting board or plate. Sprinkle lightly with salt and cut into wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons chicken fat in a medium skillet over high heat. Add chicken livers, spacing them out so they brown instead of steam, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, without disturbing, until browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Using tongs or a spatula, flip livers until browned on the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer livers to a plate.
• Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons chicken fat, along with the sliced shallots. Season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until the shallots are deeply browned and completely tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add wine and cook until reduced almost completely (shallots will look very jammy), 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Finely chop livers and shallots and combine in a medium bowl along with remaining 2 tablespoons fat. Season with salt and pepper. Place in a small bowl or serving vessel and top with flaky salt and parsley. Serve with matzo and lemon for squeezing over.

Steps:

• Brush matzo with extra-virgin olive oil; season with sea salt, pepper, and spices. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet at 450°F until warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.
