Instructions
- In a small pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until the onions are translucent and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a food processor, add the silken tofu and olive oil and process until smooth.
- Transfer the tofu mixture and the sauted vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the parsley, matzo meal, baking powder, nutritional yeast, and salt, and mix together until thoroughly combined. Move the mixture into an airtight storage container and freeze it for 1 hour. You can also refrigerate overnight if making it the night before.
- Shortly before you take the dough out of the freezer, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and bay leaf, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onions are translucent and tender. Add the water and Better Than Bouillon, cover, and lower to a simmer.
- Remove the dough from the freezer and form matzo balls that are about 2 inches.
- Place the matzo balls into the broth, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer for 45 minutes.
- Garnish with black pepper, parsley, and dill. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Simmer the matza balls: Don't go above a simmer; otherwise, it can cause the matzah balls to fall apart/disintegrate.
- Don’t overcook the matzo balls: Otherwise, they can become tough/rubbery. When ready, they should puff up and be cooked through the middle with a similar color/consistency throughout. Cut one in half to test it.
- For lighter vegan matzo balls: Increase the amount of baking powder slightly. Likewise, for denser balls, reduce the amount (or omit it entirely).
