I guess I'm the only one married long enough to own this cookbook!

Do you mean the homemade farfel? Here you go

3 1/2 - 4 glasses flour(?)
3 whole eggs
pinch salt
few drops water.

Need K-hook attachment on your mixer.

Mix all ing. all at once. If farfel are too small, add drops of water one at a time. If too coarse sprinkle small amounts of flour. At this point you may cook as u usually do.

farfel:

2 tbsp oil
1 small onion
1 cup farfel
salt and pepper tot aste
1-2 sugar dots opt.

Brown onion in oil, stir cont. Add farfel and spices and saute 5 min. , stirring occasionally. Add enough water to cover farfel. cook on low flame, covered for about half hour.

Thanks a million, Cindy. Yes, I meant the homemade farfel recipe and it's a good thing I didn't try to make it yesterday from memory. I thought it was 3 eggs and 5 c. flour.

are farfel and couscous the same thing?

No.

Farfel is an Eastern European food and couscous is North African. Furthermore, couscous doesn't contain eggs, AFAIK, and is also much finer than farfel.

I'm married 4 1/2 years and I have it (I have the KBD series as well, I like to get all sorts of recipes so I have a very mixed collection of cookbooks...)

I have heard that eating farfel on Friday night is a segulah for parnossa and the year I heard that, I made it a lot, especially if we had guests. But since I made kugel too, I made the farfel just plain, with sauteed ionions and maybe garlic and salt and pepper.

Sorry I’m not much help.

I do the same thing as SaraG with farfel, except sometimes, like erev shabbos , I use hot soup instead of water to cook it in.

If you want it really delicious, and you're not worried about clogging your arteries, then saute onions in chicken schmaltz, brown the farfel in the schmaltz and then add water or chicken soup, salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar.
