Streit’s matzo heiress Michele Streit Heilbrun puts the “great” in great-granddaughter in the new cookbook Matzo, her collaboration with Michelin-trained chef David Kirschner. The goal was to reinvent Passover classics with the Kosher staple, and they’ve done so in the most fun ways.
Matzo Nachos? Yes, they’re in here. And they include Pickled Jalapeños. You’ll also find Matzo Granola, Matzo-Crusted Salmon, Fried Chicken, Matzo Tacos, Lemon Pancakes, Rocky Road Truffles, and ultra-crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies made with matzo meal and matzo cake meal. Double good. See how this works?
ON-DEMAND: Listen to Faith and David discuss many of the recipes in Matzo.
There are the classic recipes you’d expect, of course: Matzo Brei, Matzo Ball Soup, a gorgeous brisket. Mikie (Michele’s nickname) and David’s recipe includes Matzo Spaetzle flavored with a hint of nutmeg. Chris Prosperi approves!
If you’re looking to breathe new life into your Seder while holding on to the flavors of your childhood, or you just want more fun ways to use up a box of matzos, this is the book for you.
Where can I find the recipe for the chocolate chip cookies? It seems to have disappeared and I was going to make at my seder! Thanks!
Hi Robin. David and Faith talked about the cookie, but we didn’t actually have it on the site. Here’s a similar version I found on the Cookie Madness blog: http://www.cookiemadness.net/2008/03/chocolate-chip-cookies-with-matzo-meal/. Martha’s got one, too: http://www.marthastewart.com/316103/chocolate-chip-cookies-for-passover. Or, if you’re open to non-chocolate chip Passover cookies, we like Dorie Greenspan’s Chocolate Matzo Morsels and 4-Ingredient Thumbprints.
