Recipe Ingredients:
  • 12 oz beef sausage meat
  • 1 pinch grated nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp mixed herbs
  • 1/2 tsp fresh sage, chopped
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • matzo meal, for coating
  • Oil, for deep-frying

Mix the sausage meat with the nutmeg, herbs, sage, salt and pepper, then divide in 4 equal portions.

With damp hands, form the sausage meat around the
hard-boiled eggs in an even layer.

Dip in beaten egg, then roll in matzo meal. Chill for 15 min so it firms up.

Deep fry, two at a time, in 325F oil, 5-6 minutes until golden brown all over. Drain on absorbent paper.

Slice in half width-wise and serve hot with grilled mushrooms and tomatoes, or cold with a salad.
