Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted margarine
  • 2 large onions, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 pounds)
  • 1 lb white mushroom, chopped medium fine
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (to taste)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 8 plain matzos

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F.
  • Put a kettle of water (about 3 1/2 quarts) on high heat to boil.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon margarine in a 12-inch skillet on low heat.
  • Add onions, and saute over medium-high heat until soft and golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning, about 15 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms, and continue cooking until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
  • Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Break eggs into a large bowl, and beat lightly.
  • Add mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine.
  • Make batter:
  • Break matzos into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces directly into a colander, and pour the boiling water over them.
  • Let matzo stand until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes, and add to the mushroom-egg mixture, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Melt remaining tablespoon margarine in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter into pan to form a 3-inch pancake, lightly pressing with a spatula to make pancake even.
  • Repeat, cooking 3 pancakes per batch.
  • Cook pancakes until nicely browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Turn and cook the other side about 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer to oven to keep warm and repeat process until all the batter is used up, making about 28 pancakes.
  • Serve immediately.
