Matzo Balls

gluten-free Matzo Balls

Matzo balls are like a dumpling, traditionally served in chicken soup. The non gluten-free version is made with matzo meal - which is wheat based. This recipe uses ground oats - but I would try it with other gluten-free flour if you cannot tolerate oats.

4 TBSP rendered chicken fat (*you can use plain oil, but it's not nearly as good. I use Empire Kosher rendered chicken fat - prefrozen in tubs)

4 eggs

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup ground oats (* I grind my own in cuisinart)

3/4 cup dried potato flakes

Directions:

1. Blend eggs and chicken fat (with fork, or with cuisinart)

2. Add dry ingredients, and mix

3. Cover and let sit in fridge for at least 30 minutes

4. Have briskly boiling water ready

5. Roll 1 1/2 inch balls from mixture using wet hands, drop into boiling water

6. When all balls are in water, use a long spoon to make sure none of the balls are stuck to the bottom of the pot

7. Cover pot with lid, and cook over medium heat for 35 minutes.

8. Using slotted spoon, transfer balls directly to soup, or to freeze for later use, transfer to waxpaper lined cookie sheet and freeze until hard, then transfer into ziplock freezer bags.

Makes about 11 matzo balls. Recipe can be easily doubled or halved.

Enjoy! Sara

      The only issue with that approach, is that some restaurants may not want to serve you--if you say you get violently ill, or have a deadly allergy, etc.--remember, at least here in California, businesses can decline to serve you.

      @llisa, have you also been diagnosed with celiac disease? You don't actually say but we have assumed that.

      I had bariatric surgery in 2018. My doctor put me on multiple vitamins, D3, and calcium (in the form of 2 Tums daily). My endocrinologist monitors my levels of these things, as well as my diabetes and Hashimoto's.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?
