Let's Play "Stump the Chef"!
Front-Ranger:
Here's another fun holiday food game. All you do is think of between one and three ingredients, and the chef will come up with a recipe or a way to use them in a holiday dish!! I'll be the first chef...okay, friends, who can stump me??
Sason:
What a fun idea, Lee!
Hm, let me see.....
Oh, I know! Herring, matza-balls and pumpkin.
I expect that will do for a cross cultural dish! ;D

Good one. I can imagine a herring & mathah-ball combo, but I'm at a loss for what to do with the pumpkin.
Monika:
Oh oh. I´m gonna have to google matza-balls.
Front-Ranger:
Oh this is starting out fun!! Monika, you have probably found that matza is spelled several different ways...matzo, matzah, etc. However it's spelled, it's unleavened bread, eaten ceremonially by Jews because they had to leave Egypt so quickly they didn't have time to let their bread rise. Matza balls are typically plopped into a soup, so I would make a matza ball soup with chicken broth and thicken it with pureed pumpkin, adding bit-sized chunks of herring along with some chard and sesame seeds. Although matza balls have very little taste, they will make a great foil for the salty herring and the sweet pumpkin. Serve in a hollowed out pumpkin shell!
If you're willing to give me the Lee-way to use matza meal instead of balls, here are some great suggestions for toppings on matza flatbread:
69. to 76. Dirty Matzoh, a Pesach version of a savory kugel, Cajun-style. Whole-wheat matzoh with peanut butter or almond butter along with pumpkin butter and a sprinkle of flax seeds. Topped with a poached egg and a bit of melted Gruyère or Manchego. Thin, egg matzoh spread with cream cheese and lox—toast it for a minute to slightly broil the lox. Leftover cooked salmon works well, too. Matzoh brei with onions and roasted broccoli and cooked salmon. Matzoh brei with fried salami. Everything matzohs with a mozzarella stick or with hummus!
