When radishes and onions are baked, their inherent sweetness comes through. For those who are attempting to avoid potatoes, they make a perfect low-carb alternative because they are gently seasoned with herbs and lemon zest.

I honestly just used this recipe as a guide.. I took mushroom sage olive oil and two tablespoons butter substitute and sauteed mushrooms onions garlic and celery. I poured water mixed with chicken bouillon over the farfel and let it sit. I added three eggs and it’s in the oven right now. Between the chicken flavoring in the farfel and what i tasted as I sauteed the onions I know this is going to be delicious and will be a perfect complement to the pineapple kugel and brisket that I made, both of which are already sweet.
I prepared this dish for our community passover celebration for 116 people. I added more pepper and garlic than called for. It was served plain or with chicken gravy. There were many good raves and requests for the recipe. excellant recipe.
I made this recipe into a pilaf instead of a kugel. I sauteed the onions and mushrooms and some garlic on the stove top, add the softened matzo farfel, added about 1/4 cup of water with chicken soup seasoning, salt and pepper, once the pilaf cooked a bit I added freshly chopped basil and parsley and one beaten egg to the mixture to make some pieces stick together but not to make the whole mixture too dense like a baked kugel. It was really good!
With modifications it was great. I added brocolli, extra garlic, salt, 1/2 of a boulion cube.
The recipe needs quite a few alterations. I added eggs and chicken broth as suggested , mine turned out very thin as it didnt state what size pan to put it in.
Everyone loved this!!! Really easy to make too.
I was terribly disappointed with this recipe even though it sounded good. It was very WET (it shouldnt have been-you didnt say to put it thru a colander and press out as much water as possible,which i did and still it was very WET and not very tasty!! These recipes should be tested- a big disappointment…
This is very delicious. It needs a lot of salt and pepper. Taste it before you bake it. I added two beaten eggs as someone had suggested. I think it is needed to hold it together. Made it in an 8 x 8 pan and baked it for 40 minutes.
i modified this recipe after reading the reviews. i used one box of matzo, crumbled. i added one lb sliced and sauteed mushrooms and two diced onions, also sauteed in butter (can use margerine). I added one “box” of chicken broth heated(since others said the taste was disappointing). i let this cool and added 3 beaten eggs (to hold it together). i added about 1 teaspoon of thyme and salt and pepper (to taste) i baked this covered in a greased 9×13 inch pyrex casserole at 325 (COVERED) for one hour. there was one very small square left after the seder!
I was totally disappointed with this recipe. Too much dilland it didn’t stay together after baking…The gravy from the brisket made it tolerable however I wouldn’t make this again.
I sauteed garlic with the onions and mushrooms and drained most of the liquid out before adding to the farfel. I also added 2 beaten eggs to the mixture before baking. The kugel was delicious!!!
Very simple to put together, but in the end it was a very simple taste. Adding some more spices and seasonings will certainly liven this dish up.
This was was not only delicious for our seder but would make a great stuffing for turkey or chicken.
