Matzotto (Matzo Farfel)

Ingredients:

butter and olive oil
1 cup matzo farfel or bits of broken matzo
1-2 handfuls dried mushrooms, soaked in hot water
handful of chopped parsley or other herbs
salt and pepper


Preparation: Melt some butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the matzo farfel and stir to cover in butter and lightly toast until slightly golden. Add more butter or olive oil if the pan gets dry.
Remove mushrooms from from water and squeeze out any remaining moisture. Reserve the soaking water.
Coarsely chop mushrooms and add to farfel. Stir to cover in butter.
Add some of the mushroom water to farfel mixture and stir. As the farfel absorbs the mushroom water, add more and stir.
Taste as you go to get the consistency you prefer. Then season to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs.
