Lox Latkes


Schedule

I am a Brooklyn gal.  My middle name is Lox.  Lox is smoked salmon and I think, it is wonderful.  I know, most people eat lox in a bagel, maybe with cream cheese.  I do that too.  I also use lox in soups, salads, eggs and with vegetables.  When I came across this recipe, it had my name on it, Lox.  So, as Lox, I changed the recipe to add the smoked salmon to the egg mixture rather than on top of it.

Latkes with Lox - Taste of Home (adapted)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely chopped scallions

  • 1/4 cup brown rice flour mixture or AP flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and shredded

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 4 ounces lox

    olive oil

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. 

Stir in eggs until blended. 

Add potatoes and lox; toss to coat.

Heat 1 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten.

Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed.

Drain on paper towels.  

Top with sour cream and chives if desired. Yield: 3 dozen.

    My husband loves lox. He had some for breakfast the other day and we were with his parents. His father had never heard of it, poo-pooed the entire idea, and then asked my husband when he became a fan. I chimed in "probably when he married a Jewish woman."

    An extra dollop of sour cream with chives on top of these lox cakes will be perfect!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
