Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water (4 quarts water with 1 tablespoon kosher salt) to a boil. Add the toasted farfel and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, but do not rinse. In a large saucepan, heat the butter or shmaltz mixture (based on if you want it meat or dairy). Add the onions and saute until translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and continue cooking, stirring often, until the mushrooms have given off most of their water and the mushrooms and onions are soft, about 30 minutes. Stir the farfel into the sauteed mushrooms and onions adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. If you are going to bake the farfel, stir in the egg and/or soup broth (if using). Transfer to a greased 2-quart baking dish. You can store the farfel covered in the refrigerator at this point for up to 2 days. Before serving, preheat oven to 350. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top browns and the farfel is heated through. Notes: You should be able to tell if your farfel is untoasted by the color: untoasted, it has the pale yellow color similar to other egg noodles; toasted it is somewhere between beige and golden brown. If yours is untoasted, you should toast it before you proceed with this recipe: preheat the oven to 300. Spread the farfel out on a cookie sheet and set in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the pasta has turned a dark beige or golden brown. Periodically rake the pasta with a large spoon or spatula to ensure it toasts evenly. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before proceeding.

I've never been able to find a matzo stuffing my family enjoyed so I decided to omit the Ritz crackers and cornbread from my Thanksgiving stuffing, Recipe #78109, and replace them with matzo. The result was delicious and tastes exactly like the original recipe.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured out. This will ensure you have everything you need on hand and that the cooking process goes smoothly.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your stuffing. Opt for fresh vegetables, herbs, and other ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't Overcook the Matzo Farfel: Matzo farfel should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its texture.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to your stuffing. This will give it a flavorful and memorable taste.
- Add Moisture: To prevent your stuffing from becoming dry, add some liquid, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or melted butter. This will help keep it moist and succulent.
- Stuff the Turkey Loosely: Don't pack the stuffing too tightly into the turkey, as this will prevent it from cooking evenly. Leave some space for the stuffing to expand as it cooks.
- Roast the Turkey at a High Temperature: This will help to create a crispy, golden-brown crust on the turkey and ensure that the stuffing is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Matzo farfel stuffing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. With its unique flavor and texture, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special stuffing recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
