How to Make Passover Mushroom Schnitzel

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 chopped scallions and 1/2 cup chopped onion; sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced) and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  4. Sauté over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, or until all liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are tender.
  5. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a mixing bowl and let cool completely.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 2 large eggs, lightly beaten.
  7. Gradually add 1 cup matzo meal, mixing until the mixture is firm enough to hold its shape when formed into patties. Add 1-2 more tablespoons matzo meal if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
  8. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
  10. Form the mushroom mixture into 3-inch patties (about 1 heaping tablespoon each).
  11. Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and gently press down with the back of a wooden spoon to flatten slightly.
  12. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
