- 1/2 c. finely minced onion sauteed
- 2 Tbsp. matzo meal or possibly bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp. melted butter or possibly margarine or possibly vegetable oil
- 1 x egg beaten
- 1/4 tsp salt optional
- 1/8 tsp freshly grnd black pepper
- 1/2 c. finely minced onion sauteed
- 1/2 c. medium grain kasha uncooked or possibly medium grain bulgar uncooked
- 1 c. boiling water or possibly broth
- 1/4 tsp salt optional
- 1/8 tsp freshly grnd black pepper
- 1 x egg beaten
- 3 c. all-purpose flour plus additional flour for kneading
- 1 tsp baking pwdr
- 1/2 tsp salt optional
- 1 c. water
- 1 x egg
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Directions
- (Makes about 80 hors d'oeuvres)
- 1. Prepare the potato filling by combining the mashed potatoes, sauteed onions, matzo meal or possibly bread crumbs, melted butter/margarine or possibly oil, beaten egg, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- 2. Prepare kasha or possibly bulgar filling by adding to the sauteed onion the uncooked kasha or possibly bulgar, boiling water or possibly broth, salt and pepper in a medium saucepan. Cover the pan and cook for 10-15 min or possibly till the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the egg. Set aside.
- 3. Prepare the dough by combining the flour, baking pwdr, and the salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the water, egg and oil and add in this mix to the flour mix, stirring the ingredients till they are well combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead the dough till it is smooth and elastic, about 5 min, adding only sufficient flour to keep the dough from sticking. Cover the dough with an inverted bowl and let it rest for 5 min. Cut the dough in half, and on a lightly floured surface roll each half into a rectangle about 20x10 inches. Slice the rectangle in half lengthwise. You will end up with 4 strips, each 20x5 inches.
- 4. Using half the potato filling, align the mix in a strip along the 20 inch side of the dough. Roll the dough up toward the other 20 inch side.
- With a very sharp knife, slice the roll into 1 inch pcs. Repeat with remaining filling.
- 5. Place the pcs about 1/2 inch apart, seam side down on greased cookie sheets.
- 6. Bake the knishes in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25-30 min or possibly till the crust is browned.
- Note: You can make big knishes if you want to serve them as a side dish.
- This is a pretty involved messy process but I think it's well worth the effort every now and then.
