Directions
1

Prepare the meatballs: in a bowl, mix the eggs, parsley, ginger, oil, and salt until smooth. Add the matzo, blend, and mix until homogeneous. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

2

Tomato sauce: bring a large pot of water to a boil. Remove the stems and caps from the tomatoes with the tip of a knife.

3

Dip the tomatoes in boiling water for a few seconds until the skin starts to come off.

4

Remove the tomatoes and plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking. Remove the skin from the tomatoes.

5

Slice the onions and sauté them in a large pot with a little oil. Add all the peeled tomatoes and let simmer on low heat for 1.5 hours until it reduces by half. The tomatoes will slowly caramelize.

6

Once reduced by half, add the basil leaves and mix. Blend everything while adding a few dashes of hot sauce. Set aside.

7

Take the matzo mixture out of the refrigerator and form into balls. Bring a pot of water to a boil with a chicken bouillon cube. Submerge the balls in the water and let them cook for 45 minutes. Set aside.

8

Blend the parsley leaves with the chili pepper, oil, and a pinch of salt.

9

Presentation: In a pot, put a little tomato sauce, place 4 matzo balls in the center, and add some tips of spicy parsley.

To finish, crack an egg yolk into an oven-safe dish, let it heat for 3 minutes at 180 degrees. Place the egg yolk in the center and enjoy immediately.
