From Feigie’s kitchen: Zucchini latkes By Feigie Ceitlin
We asked members of the Kosher in Tucson group on Facebook about their favorite topping/sides for latkes. Most preferred applesauce, either store-bought or homemade. Sour cream was another popular choice.
INGREDIENTS: 3 pounds zucchini 1 1/3 cups matza meal 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Vegetable oil for frying (about 1 cup)
Here are additional answers: Fig jam or beet relish Deb Siegel
DIRECTIONS: Step 1 - Grate zucchini shredding disk of a food processor. Line a bowl with a dish towel or cheesecloth. Transfer the zucchini into the bowl and toss with 2 teaspoons of salt. Let stand for 30 minutes. Step 2 - Squeeze zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer zucchini to a large bowl and stir in the matza meal, eggs and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Step 3 - Preheat oven to 200°F. Step 4 - Heat oil (about 1 inch high) in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Scoop 2 tablespoon mixture per latke into skillet (6 to 8 per batch). Flatten with a fork to form 2 1/2-to 3-inch pancakes. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side (adding more oil as necessary). I like to add a piece of raw carrot about 2-3 inches long or a baby carrot, to the skillet. It helps keep the oil clean. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
