I wanted to see what would happen if I made matzoh ball soup with flax meal instead of matzoh meal. The result was not matzoh balls but it's also not half-bad!
Ingredients:
2 cans chicken broth (I found 0 carb broth in Kroger- look for 'Clear Chicken Broth')
2 cans (use the broth can) water
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup flax meal
1 tbsp shortning (I suppose you can also use lard, but I hate lard)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder
Bring the broth and water to a boil. While it's boiling, mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl thoroughly. It should be pretty paste-like. Once the water comes to a boil, form the mix into little balls about 1" diameter and drop it in the soup. You should be able to make about 8. Let it simmer for... well, as long as you like. It cooks in about two minutes, but the longer you let it soak up the soup, the more flavorful it will be.
with 2 carbs for the eggs and 4 net carbs for the flax meal (1 net carb per 2 tbsp, ~8 tbpsp in a cup), that comes out at six carbs or less than one per ball.
Let me know what you think.
