Farfel | Traditional Jewish Shabbos Couscous Recipe

Description

This isn’t just food. It’s memory. In this video, we make Farfel — the golden, toasted couscous-style pasta dish traditionally eaten by Ashkenazi Jews on Friday night for at the Shabbos meal. In Israel, it might be called ptitim or couscous, but in our homes, it’s simply Farfel - full of tradition. Simple ingredients. Deep roots. • Onion • Garlic • Oil • Salt & Pepper • One cup of farfel • And a little patience. We’ll walk you through exactly how to: ✔️ Get that perfect toasted color ✔️ Avoid burning the garlic (bitter = no good) ✔️ Add just enough water without turning it into mush 👉 Whether you’re bringing back your Bubby’s kitchen or trying farfel for the first time, this video is your guide to doing it the way it’s meant to be done. 🕯️ Serve it hot on Shabbos night alongside your main meal. 👇 Let us know how your family made farfel growing up — and whether you called it farfel, ptitim, or just “that golden stuff we always ate Friday night.” the song is from Yiddish classic https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=mz9zxMtowuI&si=8X4gQydtj-rsVwGB #Farfel #ShabbosFood #JewishRecipe #AshkenaziCooking #TraditionalJewishFood #FridayNightDinner #KosherKitchen #JewishCouscous #ComfortFood
