Categories     Holiday Planning & Ideas     Passover     Passover Recipes

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled
1 medium parsnip, peeled
1 medium carrot, peeled
1/2 cup chives, cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup canola oil
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
Lemon slices, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Grate potatoes in long strips, using smooth strokes to run potatoes across the grater. Transfer to a large bowl of cold water. Use a slotted spoon to remove potatoes. Drain well and transfer to a second bowl. Reserve soaking liquid. Set reserved liquid aside for 10 minutes to allow the starch to sink to the bottom of the bowl. Carefully pour liquid from the bowl, reserving the milky residue (potato starch).
  • Using the same method as for potatoes, grate parsnip and carrot. To potatoes add parsnip, carrots, reserved potato starch, chives, egg, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a heavy nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil. Working in batches to accommodate pan size, spoon 1/4 cup of potato mixture into skillet for each pancake. Drop into oil loosely; you should be able to see oil bubbling up in between the individual strands. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in oven. Serve hot, with sour cream and lemon slices.

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.

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.

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tbsp vegetable or sesame oil
5 curry leaves
1 tsp brown mustard seeds
1 green chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
250g Greek yogurt , whipped
1 tbsp honey
175g parsnips , grated
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 green chillies , deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp fennel seeds (optional)
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp baking powder
100g gram (chickpea) flour
50g semolina
small onion , finely chopped
1 tsp grated ginger
3-4 tbsp vegetable oil , for frying

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, heat the oil in a non-stick pan and cook the curry leaves and mustard seeds for 1 min. Stir in the chilli, turmeric and ginger, then cook on a low heat for 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Stir the cooled spice mix into the whipped yogurt along with the honey, then chill until you are ready to serve the meal. Can be made a day ahead.
  • To make the pancakes, combine all the ingredients, except the oil, with 200ml cold water and a pinch of salt. Mix until a thick batter is formed. Can be prepared several hours in advance and chilled.
  • About 15 mins before you want to serve the pancakes, heat a large non-stick frying pan and add 1 tbsp oil. When the oil is hot, place a few tbsp of the mixture in the pan to form a round pancake about 1-1.5cm thick. You can cook 2 or 3 at a time and keep them warm in a low oven while you make the rest. Cook for 2-3 mins until golden brown, then flip over and cook the other side until browned. You should make 8 pancakes in total. Serve the pancakes with the honey and mustard dressing and the Curried chickpeas (see 'Goes well with') if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right parsnips: Look for firm, smooth parsnips that are free of blemishes. Avoid any that are soft or have brown spots.
  • Peel the parsnips thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Grate the parsnips finely: This will help them incorporate better into the batter and create a smooth texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Parsnip pancakes are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Parsnip pancakes are a delicious and unique way to enjoy this versatile root vegetable. They're easy to make and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
