Latkes Recipe
Yield: 1 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2: Zucchini, about 1/2 lb. each, grated
2: Beaten eggs,
2 tbsp: Mayonnaise,
2 tbsp: Finely chopped onion,
1/4 cup: Grated Parmesan cheese,
1/4 cup: Flour,
1/2 tsp: Chopped fresh oregano leaves -or-,
1/4 tsp: Dried oregano,
Salt & pepper to taste,
4 tbsp: Butter or margarine,
Directions:
My sister gave me a wonderful cookbook a few years ago for my birthday -
Designed for Living: Quick, Healthy and Delicious Recipes/ Corning
Cookbook. Ive adapted their recipe for the latkes.
Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini by wringing it in paper towels or a
clean tea towel that hasnt been bleached. Combine all ingredients, except
butter and mix well. Melt 2 tbs. butter in skillet, ladle in batter to make
pancakes. When nicely browned on one side, flip pancakes over and brown on
other side. Serves 4-6.
Ive never made it this way; I always make it parve, so no cheese, no
butter. I also dont use the mayo or oregano, but oregano or basil or thyme
would probably add more zing. I use cake or matzo meal instead of flour (it
tastes much better!), and sometimes grate a potato into the batter. I also
dont measure. 2 eggs is too many; and 1/4 cup matzo meal is probably not
enough; Id guess that 1/3 - 1/2 cup is better. If you make this, youll
find the right consistency while youre mixing. Also, thats a pretty fancy
way of draining the excess moisture. You should be able to pour it out, or
compensate with the matzo meal and conserve the vitamins. I made this kugel
for one of the Rosh Hashanah meals to accompany a roast.
