Ingredients

• 3 Cups matzo farfel
• 2 Whole onions, minced
• 1 Pound mushrooms, minced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried dill weed
• 1 Pinch garlic powder
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch ground pepper, to taste
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 0.25 Cups fresh parsley, minced
• 0.25 Cups fresh basil, minced
• 0.25 Cups vegetable broth

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x12-inch baking dish with a bit of vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
2. Place a colander in the sink. Add the matzo farfel to the colander and pour boiling water over it to soften. Let it drain thoroughly.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced onions and mushrooms, sautéing until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Stir in the dried dill weed, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture with the softened matzo farfel. Add the whisked egg, fresh parsley, fresh basil, and vegetable broth. Mix until well combined.
6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
8. Allow the kugel to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your savory herb-infused mushroom matzo kugel as a delightful side dish!
