Ingredients

Equipment

  • bowl
  • whisk
  • pot

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs and the oil.
  2. Add the tomato paste into the egg mixture.
  3. Whisk to incorporate fully.
  4. Sprinkle in 1/2 cup (1 bag) of the matzo ball mix. Stir in with a fork, mixing as little as possible. Don’t overwork it. Chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water or chicken stock to a boil.
  6. Wet your hands in a bowl of cold water. Using your hand, and manipulating as little as possible, scoop out a ping-pong-ball size of the mixture, adding more matzo ball mix or matzo meal as needed.
