Wild Mushroom and Leek Farfel Kugel
by Anne Rosenzweig posted at Epicurious
Works well as part of a vegetarian meal or as an accompaniment to meat or fowl.
4 large eggs
16 oz (1 box) matzoh farfel
5 tablespoons sweet butter (or oil)
1 onion, peeled and minced
2 cups wild mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 bunch wild leeks or domestic leeks, cleaned and chopped, including bulbs and all greenery (about 2 cups)
4 cups vegetable stock
In a large skillet over medium heat, stir together the eggs and farfel. Continue to stir until farfel has absorbed the eggs and gets dry and toasty.
In another skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat and stir in minced onion. Cook until golden, then add leeks and continue cooking for 15 minutes. In a separate pan on high heat cook mushrooms for about 4 minutes. Combine leeks, onions and mushrooms.
Add farfel and half of the stock to the leek/onion/mushroom mixture, continuing to stir. Turn heat to low and add 1 more cup of stock. Cook 4 minutes and add last cup of stock. When all the liquid has been absorbed, serve.
