Stuffed Kishka: (Kosher Stuffed Derma)

Alan Leonetti's Note:

This dish is really DELICIOUS, even though my recipe for Stuffed Capon Skin is easier, and I think even better. Try them both. My recipe for the Stuffed Capon Skin is #92178 here on RecipeZaar. You may also want to use the Kishka stuffing and the Capon skin, therefore combining the two recipes. If you have questions e-mail me: [e-mail]

Haven't tried it as yet but this is the best recipe I've seen as yet. Cannot find a Kosher Butcher shop where I live to buy the casing so I'll prepare it by rolling the stuffing in aluminum foil boiling it for about 3 hours and then if it doesn't fall apart from boiling it brown it in the oven for about 15 minutes at a time watching very closely.
