As long as I can remember this traditional farfel dish has been a part of our seder meal. I can remember vividly watching my grandma tending to it… sauteeing onions, stirring, fixing it until it was just right.
If you’ve been missing rice at your Passover meals, this is a great substitute. Goes really well with gravy!
