Preparation
- Step 1
To remove the marrow from the bones, place them on a paper towel or plate in a microwave for 40 seconds. Scrape the bone with a spoon or a table knife and reserve 4 tablespoons of the marrow.
- Step 2
In a bowl, cream the marrow with a fork until perfectly smooth. Mix in the eggs, salt, nutmeg and chopped parsley. Mix in enough matzoh meal to make a soft dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for several hours in the refrigerator.
- Step 3
Using your hands, roll the dough into balls the size of a quarter. Meanwhile, bring the chicken soup to a simmer. Fill a separate saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Drop in one marrow ball; if it doesn't hold together, add more matzoh meal to the dough.
- Step 4
Test again. When the test ball holds together, drop the remaining balls into the simmering soup and cook 10 to 15 minutes or until light and cooked through.
