 Categories: Seafood, Breads, Herbs, Vegetables, Chilies
      Yield: 6 servings

     20 oz Pkg Benz's gefilte fish;
           - defrosted
      4 tb Matzo meal
      1 lg Egg
      3 tb Parsley; chopped
    1/2 ts Ground cumin; heaping
    1/4 ts Ground turmeric
      3 cl Garlic; minced
      2 tb Olive oil
      1 lg Onion; thin sliced
    1/2    Red bell pepper; thin sliced
    1/2    Yellow bell pepper; thin
           - sliced
      1    Carrot; peeled, thin sliced
      6 cl Garlic; peeled, cut in half
      3 tb Tomato paste
    1/2 c  Canned chickpeas; rinsed, 
           - drained
     15 oz Can diced tomatoes
     15 oz Can tomato sauce
      1 tb Harissa; to taste
    1/2    Lemon; juice of
      4 c  Fish or vegetable stock
           Salt & pepper


  In a bowl, mix the fish, matzo meal, parsley, cumin, turmeric,
  garlic, and egg. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the
  sauce.

  Heat oil in a 6 qt saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and
  cook until translucent. Add garlic, carrots and peppers and sauté
  until softened. Add tomato paste; cook, stirring, until
  caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add chickpeas, diced tomatoes, tomato
  sauce, harissa, lemon, stock, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
  Form the gefilte fish mixture into small balls and slowly add to
  the sauce. Don't overcrowd the sauce, if there isn't a lot of room,
  wait for the fish balls to set before moving them around to make
  more space for additional balls. Reduce heat and simmer until balls
  are cooked through, about 45 minutes. Serve hot with additional
  parsley for garnish.

  NOTE: You may add a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey to the
  sauce if you wish.

  VARIATION: Fish balls have more of a fluffy matza ball texture. If
  you want something more dense, you may fry up the gefilte fish into
  patties instead. Make the sauce without the stock, adding only as
  needed and serve over the patties.
