HELZALEKH
(STUFFED CHICKEN NECK SKIN)
     
  • chicken neck skin
  • 1 lb cooked or sautéed chicken, veal, or beef meat 
  • 2 sautéed sliced onions
  • 1 egg 
  • chopped parsley, dill, spices, salt, and  pepper  to taste
 
Tie or sew one end of the helzel. Run the meat through a food processor; add sautéed onions, egg, salt, pepper, and spices. Mix the ingredients and stuff the helzel. Cook for 1 hour in the chicken broth or in the meat stew. Slice when cooled. 
 
For meatless helzalekh use a lot of sautéed onions, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper.
