Pumpkin and Red Onion Latkes

I got an email request for a raw latke recipe. Wow, for once I am stumped. That is a recipe I will work on for next year.


Are you bored with the same ole tired potato latkes yet? Try pumpkin latkes. I so love pumpkin, it's good for you and oh yes, oh yes, YUMMY.

Hope you are having a rockin' Chanukah!

Nosh on,
Shosh


Pumpkin & Red Onion Latkes

2 Cups pumpkin raw, coarsly grated and drained

1/3 tsp Garlic powder
A pinch paprika
Pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil (to fry latkes)

Mix all ingredients together until evenly until it looks like a batter. Heat oil in a frying pan until it is very hot.Drop the batter in tablespoons, shaping rounds and flatten. Fry over medium heat until golden brown on each side. Serve with sour cream.

Briskets and Baked Latkes

Oh yes, tomorrow is The New Shul's Battle of the Briskets at The Cowgirl. I am taking a side dish of baked latkes ( to the left, to the left..) in my fancy Martha Stewart Tupperware. It is a new recipe that I am trying out, I think they turned out delicious.. but I will see how fast they go or don't go tomorrow. I want to include the recipe in my book, they have real kick to them due to the seasoning and are a nice change from the typical latke.

I will also be taking a bunch of sweetriot (www.sweetriot.com) with me tomorrow to give out at the event. I have become a rioter or something like a community spokesperson for the candy. If you haven't tried Sweetriot....definitely check it out. It is such a luscious nosh! The dark chocolate ones are my favorite, but trust it's all good.

I'll be doing my podcast, Kosher with Soul from the battle tomorrow so be sure to take a listen.
