About Matzo stuffing

Matzo stuffing is a traditional dish often enjoyed during Jewish holidays, particularly Passover. This savory side is made by combining crumbled matzo bread with ingredients like onions, celery, garlic, herbs, and chicken or vegetable broth. Some recipes also include eggs for binding, seasonings for flavor, and optional add-ins such as mushrooms or nuts. Rooted in Eastern European Jewish cuisine, matzo stuffing offers a hearty, comforting texture similar to bread-based stuffing but adheres to Passover dietary restrictions. On the nutrition front, matzo is generally low in fat but also low in fiber and nutrients due to its simple composition of wheat flour and water. While the preparation can vary widely, adding vegetables boosts the dish's nutritional profile. However, recipes high in sodium from broth or additional fats from oil or butter may not be ideal for those seeking healthier options. Moderation and ingredient choices are key to balancing this holiday favorite.
