Rainbow Latkes Recipes

RAINBOW LATKES

Steps:

• Using a food processor fitted with the coarse grating attachment, grate together vegetables and onion [NOTE: for broccoli-zucchini latkes, grate zucchini separately, then transfer to a small bowl, salt, and allow to sit for 15 minutes before continuing with recipe].
• Transfer mixture to a medium bowl lined with cheesecloth and wring out thoroughly in cloth to squeeze out any liquid [NOTE: the broccoli-zucchini mixture will release a fair amount of liquid; be sure to squeeze it out completely]. Discard liquid, then toss vegetable mixture with remaining ingredients until completely incorporated.
• Heat ¼" of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, scoop ⅓ Celsius balls of latke mixture and drop into pan. Using a flat spatula, smash the latkes to flatten. Cook, flipping once, until golden, 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and horseradish until smooth. Season to taste with salt and serve.

RAINBOW PANCAKES

Steps:

• Put all the pancake ingredients, except the dye, in a bowl and mix well with a whisk until smooth. Divide the batter into 5 bowls or disposable cups. Use the food colouring to dye 4 of them a different colour, leaving one plain.
• Melt a small knob of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat. Once foaming put spoonfuls of the pancake batter into the pan and shape into 4-5cm circles with the back of your spoon, you should have enough to make 4 pancakes from each coloured batter. Cook for 2-3 mins then flip over and cook the other side for another minute or until cooked through and ever so slightly golden.
• Stack the pancakes so that everyone gets one of each colour. Serve with fresh fruit, cream or ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup if you like.
