Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 21:34:59 -0600 (CST) From: "Natalie Frankel" <Natalie.Frankel@...> I just did a pre-seder test of this recipe from Vegetarian Celebrations by Nava Atlas (also author of Vegetariana, American Harvest and The Wholefood Catalog). DELISH! I'll be serving it this year at my seder.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir the seasoned salt into the water.

Combine with the matzo farfel in a heatproof mixing bowl and let soak. In the meantime, sautee the onion in broth over moderate heat until soft. Add the mushrooms, zucchini and celery and saute until the mushrooms are wilted. Fold the potato starch mixture into the mushroom mixture. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper. Pour into a Pam-sprayed 10" tart pan.

Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 15 minutes, or until the top is browned. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, then cut into wedges to serve. Makes 6-8 servings.
