Ingredients
2 (15-ounce) cans lower-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, divided
1 (16-ounce) box matzo farfel (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced onion
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
4 (6-ounce) bottles marinated artichoke hearts, drained
2. In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs with 1 1/2 cans broth. Stir in farfel and let stand.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onions, rosemary, thyme and salt; cook, stirring frequently, about 6 minutes or until the onions are soft and lightly golden. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 4 to 5 minutes or until they are softened. Remove from heat and stir in artichokes.
4. Stir the vegetables into farfel mixture and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
Bake 30 minutes; cover with foil and bake another 10 minutes. If it seems too dry, make several slits into the kugel with a butter knife and drizzle with extra broth. (The slits help the liquid permeate the inside of the kugel). Serves 16.
