Matzo Farfel Stuffing

Ingredients:

* 2 cups matzo farfel

* 5 large shiitake mushrooms, chopped

* 1 small onion, finely diced

* 1 1/2 tablespoons butter or 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

* 1 teaspoon cumin

* 2 tablespoons fresh oregano

* 2 cups chicken broth or 2 cups vegetable broth

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Saute onions in butter or olive oil on medium-low heat until translucent (about 5-6 minutes).

3. Add mushrooms, saute until mushrooms soften a bit (about 3-4 minutes). Mix in turmeric and cumin. Saute a few more minutes until mushrooms look totally soft.

4. Pour farfel into a large bowl. Toss in mushroom mixture with farfel. Add salt, fresh oregano and enough broth to moisten farfel, but not enough to make too soggy.

5. Put entire mixture into 3 quart baking dish (approximately 9x12 size). Bake for about 15 minutes in oven, turn heat to broil, then set under broiler for about 1-2 minutes to let top brown a bit (NOTE: watch carefully so you don't burn the top).
