INSTRUCTIONS
This next recipe is from a book called "Juedische Kueche" (Jewish cooking). I just have the xeroxed page, so I can't give the author's name. The book states that these green pancakes come from the region between Pakistan and Iran. They are eaten alone with yogurt or sour cream, or as a side dish with hot curries. Note that you need a food processor (i.e. Cuisinart) for this recipe. In the food processor, puree the spinach/watercress/Swiss chard, with the fresh herbs and leeks/scallions until thoroughly mixed together. Put into a large bowl, and add the eggs nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Fold in the matzoh meal. The batter should be fairly thick. Heat oil in a large frying pan, over high heat. Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter in the heated oil, and fry about 2 minutes or until the underside is light brown, then turn and fry another 2 minutes or until the other side is light brown. Drain on paper towels. Garnish with coriander/dill if desired, and eat with yogurt/sour cream.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
