Ingredients
8 leeks, washed and sliced
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
4 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
matzah meal
vegetable oil for frying
Sauce:
1 cup tomato-mushroom sauce
1/2 cup water
Directions
- Cook leeks in covered sauce pan until very tender, about 45 minutes.
- Drain and cool. Squeeze out as much water as possible (they fry better).
- Grind the leeks and mix with meat, 3 eggs, salt and pepper.
- Add matzah meal to firm up mixture if required (you need to be able to form the mix into patties).
- Beat remaining egg and dip patties first in egg and then in matzah meal. Fry in hot oil until golden on both sides.
- Drain on paper towels.
- To prepare sauce, simmer tomato-mushroom sauce with water.
- Add leek patties and simmer 10 minutes.
