PARSNIP AND CARROT LATKES (VEGETABLE PANCAKES)



Parsnip and Carrot Latkes (Vegetable Pancakes) image

A new twist to a traditional Jewish dish - Serve instead of potato latkes at Chanukah, or in addition. These vegetable pancakes are beautifully colorful and very tasty. They go wonderfully with sour cream. The gluten-free rice flour mix I use is 3 cups white rice flour, 3 cups brown rice flour, 2 cups potato starch (not flour), 1 cup tapioca starch - Use just one cup of this mixture. If you can eat gluten, use just 1/2 cup of matzo meal instead.

SPICY CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO LATKES



Spicy Carrot, Parsnip and Potato Latkes image

Indian flavors add a new dimension to potato latkes. I love the Indian flavors in these irresistible latkes. The heat comes from the chiles, the spice from the nigella seeds.

Categories     brunch, dinner, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Makes 2 to 2 1/2 dozen, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups, tightly packed, mixed grated carrots and parsnips (about 1 pound)
3 cups grated potatoes (use a starchy potato like Idaho or Yukon gold)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 serrano chiles or 1 jalapeño, minced (seeded if desired)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon nigella seeds
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
About 1/4 cup canola, grape seed or rice bran oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place a rack over a sheet pan.
  • In a large bowl mix together the carrots and parsnips, potatoes, baking powder, salt and pepper, chiles, cilantro, nigella seeds, chives, and flour or cornstarch. Add the eggs and stir together.
  • Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil and when it is hot, take up heaped tablespoons of the latke mixture, press the mixture against the spoon to extract liquid (or squeeze in your hands), and place in the pan. Press down with the back of the spatula to flatten. Repeat with more spoonfuls, being careful not to crowd the pan. In my 10-inch pan I can cook 4 at a time without crowding; my 12-inch pan will accommodate 5. Cook on one side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Slide the spatula underneath and flip the latkes over. Cook on the other side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the rack set over a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. The mixture will continue to release liquid, which will accumulate in the bottom of the bowl. Stir from time to time, and remember to squeeze the heaped tablespoons of the mix before you add them to the pan.
  • Serve hot topped with low-fat sour cream, Greek yogurt or crème fraiche, or other toppings of your choice such as salsa, chutney or yogurt blended with cilantro, mint, and garlic.

PARSNIP LATKES



Parsnip Latkes image

Specially made for Hanukkah, latkes are potato pancakes that are fried in oil in recognition of the ancient lamps that held only enough oil for one day but miraculously burned for eight. Adding parsnips to the classic recipe also celebrates the past, when latkes, a side dish, were made with vegetables, cheeses, or fruits.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 yellow onion, grated on the large holes of a box grater or minced
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 pounds parsnips (about 5 medium), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
1/2 pound russet potato (about 1 medium), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine onion, orange zest, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Add eggs, and stir until incorporated. Stir in flour until incorporated. Add parsnips and potato, and toss until combined and evenly coated.
  • Fill a large skillet with about 1/2 inch oil. Place over medium heat until oil is almost smoking. (To test, drop a small bit of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle upon contact.)
  • Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each latke. Lightly tamp down to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.

POTATO PARSNIP LATKES

Yield Makes about 16 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large russet (baking) potato (8 to 10 oz)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 medium parsnips (1 lb total), peeled and coarsely grated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Accompaniment: applesauce and/or sour cream
Special Equipment
a thin (fine-weave) kitchen towel

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Peel potato and coarsely grate into a bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to combine. Place potato on towel, then gather up corners to form a sack and twist tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible. Stir potato together with parsnips, flour, eggs, chives, salt, and pepper until combined well.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Fill a 1/4-cup measure three-fourths full with latke mixture and carefully spoon it into skillet, then flatten to 3 inches in diameter with a slotted spatula. Form 3 more latkes in skillet, then cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain. Keep warm on a rack set in a shallow baking pan in oven. Make more latkes in same manner, in batches of 4, with remaining mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Parsnips and Carrots: Select firm, fresh parsnips and carrots with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller vegetables tend to be more tender and flavorful.
  • Grate the Vegetables Finely: Use the small holes of a box grater to grate the parsnips and carrots. This ensures they cook evenly and creates a smooth texture in the latkes.
  • Squeeze Out Excess Moisture: After grating the vegetables, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out excess moisture. This helps prevent the latkes from becoming too soggy.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Parsnips and carrots have a mild flavor, so use plenty of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to enhance their taste.
  • Use a Nonstick Pan: To prevent the latkes from sticking, use a nonstick frying pan or griddle. If you don't have one, grease the pan with a little oil before cooking.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Latkes need time to cook through without burning. Maintain medium heat throughout the cooking process, adjusting as needed to prevent them from getting too dark.
  • Flip Carefully: Once the edges of the latkes are golden brown and crispy, carefully flip them using a spatula. Avoid flipping too often, as this can break them apart.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Parsnip and carrot latkes are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with various toppings to enhance their flavor. Popular options include sour cream, apple sauce, or smoked salmon.

Conclusion:

Parsnip and carrot latkes are a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make, packed with flavor, and a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to find your favorite combination. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if your first batch doesn't turn out exactly as expected. With a little patience and a few tries, you'll be making perfect parsnip and carrot latkes in no time.
