Nana's Gefilte Fish

My recipe written down from Nana as we created gefilte fish together for passover many years back.

1 lb. fish (whitefish, pickerel, pike)do not use a dry fish such as sole or perch
1-2 large eggs
1 small zucchini
2 onions
1 large carrot

Cook vegetables in microwave and process fine in food processor. Saute chopped onion and process fine. Beat eggs. In mixmaster beat fish on low just to mix. (Nana usually bought already chopped up fish) Add veggys and onions a little at a time to fish mixture and then add eggs. It should look fluffy when eggs are added. Add about 1 tsp salt and lots of white pepper. Add about 1/4 cup matzo meal. Let sit while you heat a large pot of broth - preferably fish stock (Knorr brand preferred). If you put some tapioca powder in fish it will aswsure fish hold together well. Keep wetting hadns as yoiu make gefilte fish balls so they don't stick to your hands.Boil ball of fish for 1/2 hour or more.
