There was an article in Bon Appetit this month about someone who makes 400 latkes - her tip re

odors was to place bowls of vinegar around the house. I will try it next time. I just open windows since we are having a heat wave anyway.

REC: EAsy Vegetable Latkes

This recipe is from Faye Levy who is the author of International Jewish Cookbook. I doubled it.

100-175 gram mushrooms. (I used one box}

4-5 tbs. vegetable oil

1 med. onion finely chopped

1 c. coarsely grated carrot (1) (I used 2 large and one small)

1/2 c, canned chickpeas, drained and coarsely chopped) Short time - I did not chop.

1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed

2 large eggs or 3 egg whites, slightly beaten(I used 3 large eggs)

salt and freshly ground pepper

1 TBS. snipped fresh dil or 1 tsp. dried

2-3 tbsp. matza meal or dry bread crumbs (used grissini crumbs)

Halve mushrooms and slice thinly.

Heat 1 tbs. oil over med. heart for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms & saute for 2-3- minutes till veggies are tender. Transfer to a bowl

Add carrot, chickpeas, and green peas and mix well. Add eggs, salt, pepper, dill and 2 tbs. matza meal.

Heat 3-4 tbsp. oil in deep heavy large skillet, preferably non stick. For each latke, drop 1-2 heaping tbs. mix into pan. Flatten slightly with back of spoon.

Saute over med. heart about 2-3- minutes till golden brown. Turn carefully using 2 spatulas.

Drain on paper towels. Stir mixure before sauting each batch. Add oil if necessary.

Serve hot - Serves 2-3 as main course or 4-5 as an appetizer.

She says to serve either on their own or with

sour cream, yogurt, chunky tomato sauce or your favorite salsa.

These were so good - they will now be with us every Hanukah. The menu also included potato latkes and curried lentil spinach soup - I believe this is from Pat NOCal.

Dessert - jelly donuts - see Haukah post above.

 
Groan. Can't avoid this one. Now to a serving for one. Thanks Elaine. Happy happy.

And by the way, I had no idea that such a complex mixture would be deemed acceptable. I love mashed chick peas.

 
Ah, Faye Levy. That's got to be good. I've made two of Faye's recipes and loved them

from her International Chicken Cookbook that I checked out from my local library in Bala Cynwyd, PA when I lived in Philadelphia.

See Link and Image Link.

I've made her Grilled Chicken Thighs with Coriander-Cumin Marinade four times and I just love the recipe. I made it again about three weeks ago.

Wishing you a great Hanukah over the big pond elaine.

That's what I said when I tried her recipe. It sounded like an unlikely combo but she is good...

Thanks for posting this one I don't have it.
I will post others when I come across them in my files - she had a newspaper column here for a few years.
