- 1 tablespoon olive oil (omit if using cooked giblets)
- 1 cup chicken livers (about 6 ounces), trimmed and halved, or finely chopped cooked giblets
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 9 unsalted matzohs, broken up
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter or pareve margarine
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 3 to 4 teaspoons creole seasoning (Anne uses Tony Chacheres)
- 1/2 cup chicken or turkey broth
- 1 large egg
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees .
- Generously grease a 9 x 9 inch glass baking dish or casserole.
- If using the livers, heat the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully add the livers and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper.
- Cook, turning often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until livers are browned but still pink in the center, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer to a small bowl (dont wash the skillet).
- Let livers cool slightly and then chop.
- Meanwhile, place the matzohs in a large bowl and cover with cold water.
- Let stand, pressing them down into the water, until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Drain in a fine-mesh strainer, pressing out the water and breaking up the matzohs with your hands.
- Dry the bowl; return matzohs to the bowl.
- In the same skillet, over medium heat, melt all but 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Add the onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring often, until tender, 8 minutes.
- Stir in the parsley, creole seasoning, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Cook, stirring, 1 minute.
- Scrape the mixture into the matzohs.
- Add the livers or giblets (or mushrooms), broth, and egg and mix well.
- Transfer to the prepared baking dish and dot with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Uncover and bake until the surface is browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
- Serve hot, with turkey gravy if you like.
