    I have people coming over that are vegan, allergic to soy and gluten free. Any suggestions on how to alter this recipe and still make it taste yummy?

    • Wow Helen, that is a challenge, but I think this recipe is a good place to start. You would have to leave out the wheatberries, the matzo ball mix, and the soy sauce. You can use more quinoa instead of the wheatberries and more onion soup mix instead of the soy, just make sure the soup mix is gluten free. Maybe try making your own vegan kishke with chickpea flour which acts as a binder and is gluten free, try this recipe and let us know if it works out – http://www.joyofkosher.com/recipe/kishka/
