CHOCOLATE MATZO FARFEL HAYSTACKS

Mix in the farfel, coconut, peanuts and dried fruit. Form 1-inch haystacks of the mixture on a parchment lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for 1/2 hour to set. Serve chilled.

• Drop by tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet. Press lightly to hold together, if necessary.
• Bake @ 350° for 15 minutes.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES FOR PASSOVER

FARFEL WITH MUSHROOMS FROM ARTIE'S DELI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, bring chicken stock just to a simmer over medium heat. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add farfel, and cook, stirring, until toasted and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small roasting pan, and add hot stock. Place in oven, and bake until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet; add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden brown and all the released liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove farfel from oven, fluff with a fork, and stir in onions and mushrooms. Return to oven, and cook just until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
