4 Matzos
½ cup Cold water
2 tablespoons Schmaltz
1 medium Onion
½ teaspoon Salt
6 Prunes, soaked, pitted and chopped
1 dash Cinnamon
¼ cup Slivered almonds
2 Eggs
1 tablespoon Chopped parsley

Directions

Break 4 matzos into small pieces, add ½ a cup of cold water and leave them to soak it up. In 2 tablespoons schmaltz (chicken fat) cook 1 medium onion, finely chopped, until golden.

Meanwhile, squeeze excess water from the matzos and mix together the matzos, half a teaspoon salt, 6 soaked, pitted and chopped prunes, a dash of cinnamon, quarter of a cup of slivered almonds, and 2 eggs.

Mix well then turn into the pan of fried onions. Stir over moderate heat until the stuffing is light and fairly dry.

Let cool a little then add 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Use mixture to stuff a large chicken and roast as usual.
