Hanukkah sameach! December 18, 2022 begins the eight days of Hanukkah remark. There are numerous Hanukkah traditions to rejoice over the following eight days, like lighting the menorah, enjoying dreidel, giving presents, and consuming scrumptious fried meals! Certainly one of my favourite Hanukkah meals are these candy potato beet latkes.
Child J’s dad is Jewish, and I really like becoming a member of the celebrations, too. Custom might be tough to comply with should you additionally comply with a plant-based life-style. Many conventional Jewish meals comprise animal product, like brisket. However a pair years in the past I created a vegan Hanukkah menu that we nonetheless use–together with these candy potato beet latkes.
What’s a latke?
Latkes, pronounced laat-kuhs, are a sort of potato pancake historically made to rejoice Hanukkah. Some comprise cheese or are eaten with bitter cream, so I created this vegan model to keep away from any kind of battle. Latkes are fried, crispy, so flavorful, and eaten with a stunning facet; applesauce! The earthy beet and savory onion and potato mix completely with the candy applesauce facet.
My different Hanukkah menu gadgets are a parsnip bisque with rye croutons, seitan brisket with mushroom gravy, and apple cider baked donuts and cupcakes for dessert. How scrumptious does that meal sound?! Need the recipes? Click on HERE to enroll in my e-newsletter and look ahead to a particular version going out Sunday morning, December 18.
