I was missing matzah this year due to the matzah shortage but found plenty of farfel! This recipe helped settle my carb craving. Even those that have never tried matzah farfel wanted the recipe. Unfortunately, I was not able to find chicken fat and had to substitute vegetable oil. Regardless, it turned out great! Thank you Emeril!!

A little too many steps for farfel but it was good. The essence made it a litttle spicy which makes it different than you average farfel. I would do it again.
