Goose-Matzo Balls With Dried Ginger and Parsley

This recipe came to The Times in a 2012 magazine article by David Sax about the goose-matzo-ball soup he discovered at Fülemüle, a tiny restaurant in Budapest which serves Hungarian-style Jewish dishes. The recipe, created by then chef András Singer, calls for goose schmaltz in place of chicken, hand-crushed matzo instead of preground matzo meal and a bit of dried ginger to cut through the richness. The combination yields what Mr. Sax called "the greatest matzo ball on earth."
