Start Cooking
Prepare the Mushrooms
-
Fill a medium pot halfway with oil. Heat over medium to 375–400°F, maintaining this temperature throughout the cooking process.
-
Scoop out and discard the gills from the bottom of each portobello cap. Peel the skin from each cap and discard. Slice each cap into 8-12 triangles, depending on size of mushroom. Set aside.
-
Place matzo meal, matzo farfel, mustard, salt, and pepper into a shallow container. Using your fingers, toss to mix.
-
Place eggs into a second shallow container and whisk lightly.
-
Dip each portobello triangle into the eggs and then into matzo-meal mixture, patting it to coat well.
-
When all the mushrooms are coated, carefully lower one into the hot oil (it should gently bubble but not burn) and cook to a golden brown. If the oil is not hot enough, the mushrooms will soak it up like a sponge; if it is too hot, the mushrooms will burn. Once the temperature is correct, fry the mushrooms in batches, one to two minutes per side, until golden-brown. Allow them to drain on paper towels.
-
Skewer mushrooms triangles onto six-inch skewers, three to four on each.
Prepare the Honey-Balsamic Ketchup
-
In a small bowl, whisk ketchup, vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, and consommé powder.
-
Serve two skewers per person with a small bowl of the dip.

Replies:This one is a tricky one to sub since it's supposed to be at a specific consistency when made as a stuffing. Croutons as stuffing might work, but can't know till it's attempted.YOu can make your own matzoh farfel by crushing matzohs.
