Can I leave the matzo out? My daughter can not eat any wheat, grains, rice etc.
Thanks.
Judi
hi judi – I am sure that’s difficult. OK so w/o the crushed matzo it will be a little loose and sticky and may not keep the pattie shape and be hard to work with — what do you normally use in place of such ingredients.
Are these supposed to be eaten warm or can they be eaten room temp or cold?
warm – but room temp and cold will work too they will just lose a little of their crispiness.
Can this be baked?
sure – I would guess at 375 degrees F for about 7-9 minutes per side cut one in half to check for doneness. If you want a little more of a crispiness spray tops with cooking spray before placing in the oven, after 7-9 minute pull out the baking sheet flip em, spray em and back in for another 7-9 minutes.
Can you make these ahead and freeze them?
I would freeze the raw patties, not the cooked ones — maybe become a little soggy and will def lose that nice crispiness (lol, can you tell from all my comments that I love that part?)
sorry, I love to eat more than anyone, but as good as these may be, I cannot understand why anyone has to change a delicious, not too fattening food, and add a million calories.
well, you could leave out the sauce, use fat free mayo, and fry in less oil . . .
Jamie, it would be helpful if, for those recipes you contribute, you specify whether they are from your fab cookbooks, and which one–thanks!
you are so awesome thanks! most of the recipes online were actually developed especially for jok.com. This is one of them. Although I am working on a cool new gefilte for my new book
as far as the calories go, it would be wonderful if your recipes gave nutritional information, so that we can make educated choices. It’s real important to find foods that TASTE fabulous and are also FABULOUS FOR YOU.
Confession: I never tried gefilte fish – I don’t like the way they look – But now this recipe? I definitely want to try this….
lol it’s an acquired taste
After seeing the video I will absolutely try this recipe! Looks quick and easy.
YAY!
Jamie,
Can I use breadcrumbs instead of Matzoh meal for a year long recipe, not Pesach?
yes for sure!!!
Can I use farfel? If yes how much is the proportion.
thanks,
Fania
so sorry I have not tested it so can’t be sure.
Can you use a gefilte fish loaf instead of the jar? I hate jar fish
Yes FOR SURE will be absolutely delish like that! (Lol – my Hubby absolutely LOVES the jar fish
