Tips & Tricks (5)

Squeeze Out Excess Moisture 💧
After chopping the swiss chard, place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess water, which prevents soggy treats and ensures better binding with the matzo meal.
Toast the Sesame Seeds First 🌱
Lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to the mixture to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming bland during cooking.
Freeze on Baking Sheets First ❄️
Place shaped treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours before transferring to freezer bags; this prevents them from sticking together and makes reheating more convenient.
Add Garlic Powder After Cooking the Chard 🧄
Lightly sauté the chopped chard with oil for 1-2 minutes before mixing to cook out moisture and release the chard's natural sweetness, then add garlic powder to the cooled mixture for fresher flavor.
Use Egg as Your Binder Test 🥚
The mixture should hold together when squeezed; if it's too crumbly, add one more beaten egg in small increments rather than adding more matzo meal, which can make treats dry and dense.
