Add Onions to pot. Drop matzo ball mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls in 16 mounds onto sheet of foil. Using moistened hands, shape mounds into smooth balls; drop into boiling water. Cover pot tightly. Boil matzo balls until very tender and evenly colored throughout, adding more boiling water to pot occasionally, about 2 hours. Transfer matzo balls to dish in single layer. |
