Kosher Kishka Recipe

Kosher kishka is one of the most popular kosher foods. It's often served during the holidays and at large family gatherings. Here is a favorite recipe for kosher kishka. Remember to buy each item kosher as certified under the kosher organizations.

Ingredients:

1.5 cups of flour

2 cups of matzo meal

8 feet total of kosher beef casings (extra thin)

A pinch of pepper

1.5 cups of melted kosher chicken fat

2 teaspoons of salt

Additional salt

To begin, you need to wash the kosher beef casings and then cut them into pieces of 10 inches. After you cut the casings, tie one end of each piece with baking string. Then you need to turn the casing inside out so that they can be filled. Make sure the string is tight before you turn the casings inside out.

To make the kosher kishka filling, you need to combine all of the other ingredients, aside from the extra salt. After mixing the ingredients, fill each casing carefully. The best way to do so is with a small spoon. You can also put the mix into a plastic bag, twist the top, and cut off a corner in order to squeeze the filling into the casings. The filling shouldn't be packed in tightly, but slightly loose.

Tie the ends of the casings with the same string and cut off the edges on both sides. Begin to boil water. When the water is boiled, place each filled casing in. It's best to do about three at a time. You should boil them for about 15 minutes.

Take out the cooked filled casings and scrape off excess fat and grease.

Boil water with pinches of salt and pepper. Let the water cool down and put the filled casings back in. Let these, all together, simmer for about two and a half hours. Afterwards, remove them from the water and then place them in the refridgerator. One cooled, cut into half inch slices. Then fry in a pan in order to re-heat.
