Passover Spinach Onion Soufflé

6T Kosher for Passover Margarine
4C Onion, chopped
8 large eggs, separated
2, 10oz pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dried
1/3C Matzo Meal
1 1/2t salt
1t garlic powder
1/4t freshly ground black pepper

Melt margarine in a medium skillet over medium heat; set aside 4T. Add onion to 2T remaining in pan; cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Heat oven to 350'F. Beat egg yolks until thickened. Stir in onions, spinach, matzo meal, salt, garlic powder, pepper and 4T margarine. Beat egg whites in bowl of electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Thoroughly stir 1/4 of whites into spinach mixture to lighten. Fold in remaining whites. Pour into well-greased 2 quart casserole or soufflé dish. Bake until browned and set, 40-45 minutes.

Passover Farfel & Vegetable Kugel

3 cups Matzo Farfel
2 cups Chicken broth, heated
2 onions, chopped
2 t celery, chopped
1/2 each, red and green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
3T oil
3 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
paprika and garlic powder to taste

Combine farfel and broth. Set aside. Brown vegetables in oil quickly over high heat. Beat eggs slightly. Add eggs and vegetables to farfel mixture, mix well and season. Pour into a greased 2 quart casserole or 9x13 pan. Bake @ 350 F for 1 hour, or until golden brown. Can be frozen and can be made in individual muffin tins. (I usually chop the veggies in my Cuisinart being careful not to get them into a mush).

Passover Rolls

1 box Matzo Farfel
4 cups lukewarm water
4t salt
1/4t pepper
6 eggs, beaten
4T oil

Mix together farfel through pepper and let sit for 20 minutes. Add eggs and oil. Spray muffin tins with Pam. Fill tins 3/4 full and bake @ 400'F for 45 minutes.
