CHASEN'S BEEF BELMONT WITH MATZO BALLS
Ronald and Nancy Reagan were regulars at Chasens. It was there that they decided to marry in 1952; and they continued to come in for the Tuesday night special for decades later, even when they lived in the White House. Their favorite dish was the Beef Belmont, a Jewish dish with origins in Eastern Europe. The recipe yields a soup plus a platter of sliced beef. One can add their own accompanyments to the beef platter. Local history information from the archives of the Los Angeles Library.

MATZO BALLS
Steps:
- 1. Fill a large, wide stockpot three-quarters full of water, add 1 tablespoon of the salt, and bring to a rapid boil.
- 2. While water is boiling, crack eggs into a large bowl and beat thoroughly. Beat in schmaltz, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and baking powder. Slowly fold in matzo meal, mixing vigorously until completely blended.
- 3. Wet hands and, folding the mixture in your palms, shape perfect balls about 1 1/4 inches in diameter (they will double in size when cooked). Gently place the matzo balls in the boiling water and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 25 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place 1 or 2 in each bowl of soup. Serve immediately.
BEST MATZAH BALLS
These can be tricky to get the right consistency. After years of experimenting with the basic recipe, I found these to come out soft but not falling apart. If you like firm/hard-middle matzah balls, either reduce the seltzer or add 1/4 cup matzah meal.
