Start Cooking
Cook the Farfel

In a three-quart pot, brown the farfel in the oil for five minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and water. Stir. Bring to a boil. Cook for 20 minutes.
Create the Purple Onion Roses
-
Peel an onion. Cut off a half-inch slice from the top and discard. Cut a thin slice of onion from the bottom so the onion sits flat. Using a sharp knife, cut slits around the onion’s circumference (in an asterisk-like shape), leaving about half an inch from the bottom unslit.
-
Repeat with the remaining onions.
-
Place the onions onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Pour oil over each onion. Bake for about 50–60 minutes, basting continuously with oil every 10–15 minutes.
-
Cool. Spread the “petals” apart to obtain rose petal effect. Fill with farfel and serve.
