I don’t know what is "Gegleistener Matzo" I’m curious to know if you or someone else from AJL considered publishing an e-cookbook ?

It's a terrific project and we hope to have it published by the end of the year. One of the congregants submitted a recipe she calls "Gegleistener Matzo". I haven't been able to find a reference to "gegleistener" anywhere -- and this library has a really good cookbook collection. The recipe comes from her "Austrian" grandmother who arrived in New York sometime in the 1880's. I know Austria could mean anywhere in the Austro-Hungarian Empire but "gegleistener" is either German or Yiddish, from the construction and sound of it. Gegleistener Matzo is basically a kind of a matzah brei for a meat meal. The individual matzah (or half of a square matzah) is briefly run under hot water, dipped into eggs into which a grated onion has been beaten and slowly fried in schmaltz. It can be made ahead, frozen and reheated to be served. It sounds delicious, albeit unhealthy. A clue might be that the preferred matzah is Rakusen's round "tea matzos" --but not the cracker size. Rakusen is an English brand so I don't know if that's also a clue. I'd be grateful for any translation of "gegleistener" , Many thanks and Gemar Chatima Tovah! Liza Stabler Elizabeth F.
