"These puffs may be made with a tsp-ful of batter to yield many tiny puffs, which are ideal crunchy hot hors d'oeuvres. For an excellent luncheon dish, serve large puffs with a creamed mushroom sauce." Finely chop the tuna in a wooden chopping bowl. Add the chopped almonds.

Mix together and set aside. In a medium sized saucepan, pour the cup of tuna liquid and water mixture, add the oil, salt, parsley, grated onion and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add the cup of matzo meal all at once. Beat rapidly over low heat until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a smooth compact ball. Set aside to cool a bit. Add the eggs one at a time, beating hard with a spoon after each addition, until the mixture is shiny. Add the tuna mixture. Blend thoroughly. Drop the mixture by the heaping tbs-ful onto a greased baking sheet. Do not crowd them; leave room for expansion. Bake in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350 degrees F and continue baking for an additional 30-45 minutes, until brown. Serve hot. Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest V97 #081 by alotzkar@... (Al) on Mar 9, 1997
