Steps:

• Wash casings in cold water and cut into 12 inch lengths.
• Tie one end of each length tightly with white sewing thread.
• Turn casings inside out.
• Combine flour, matzo meal, seasonings and schmaltz or suet. Adjust the poultry seasoning to taste. You may wish to add additional poultry seasoning.
• Fill each casing loosely with this stuffing and tie the remaining end.
• Drop into rapidly boiling water and boil 10 minutes.
• Drain.
• When cool enough to handle, scrape fat off the casings with the dull edge of a knife.
• Drop into rapidly boiling water (about a gallon) to which you have added 1 tablespoon salt and at least 1 teaspoon pepper.
• Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 3 hours.
• Remove from water.
• Brown for about 1 hour around a roast or roasting poultry.
• (You can also refrigerate and then slice pieces about 1 inch thick and fry them on both sides.).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a double layer of foil 12 inches long, topped with a sheet of parchment paper the same size.
• In a skillet over medium-low heat, heat 4 tablespoons fat or vegetable oil, and sauté onion and garlic until soft and golden. Cool slightly and pour everything, including fat, into a food processor equipped with a steel blade.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons fat or oil, celery, carrot, matzo meal, salt, pepper and paprika to food processor. Pulse until vegetables and fat are incorporated into a paste. Transfer mixture to parchment paper, and shape into a knockwurst-like cylinder about 9 inches long and 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Enclose parchment and foil firmly around cylinder, folding ends under.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook until kishke is solid, 45 to 60 minutes more. Unroll kishke to expose surface; return to oven just until top is lightly browned and slightly crisped, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly, and cut into rounds. If desired, serve as a side dish with pot roast or roast chicken.
