This is an original recipe. It’s basically a matza ball with a ground beef filling in the middle. It’s a distant cousin to kubbeh soup: a Kurdish delicacy. It quickly became a highly anticipated dish at each family seder.

A few years ago, the Leonard Lopate Show on WNYC asked listeners to post their matza ball recipes on their show page. I posted mine, and to my surprise, I got a call from the station asking me if I would be willing to talk about it on the show with Leonard and his guest, Jewish cookbook author Joan Nathan. I decided that I needed to create an online step-by-step guide for making them.
