Parsnip and Carrot Latkes (Vegetable Pancakes)

"A new twist to a traditional Jewish dish - Serve instead of potato latkes at Chanukah, or in addition. These vegetable pancakes are beautifully colorful and very tasty. They go wonderfully with sour cream. The gluten-free rice flour mix I use is 3 cups white rice flour, 3 cups brown rice flour, 2 cups potato starch (not flour), 1 cup tapioca starch - Use just one cup of this mixture. If you can eat gluten, use just 1/2 cup of matzo meal instead."

  1. Very good! Easy to prepare, flexible and yummy. Thanks!
     
  2. These were super. The patties stayed perfectly formed; they did not break-up in the pan. Sadly, I had no chives to add; I included a half grated red bell pepper. I used the matzo meal option. Nice recipe.
     
  3. These are really delicious! They would be excellent with some hot sauce or Indonesian kecap. I will be sharing this with my gluten free friends, for sure! I did substitute vegetable oil for the olive oil. I was able to get a higher heat and a crispier outside.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Read my gluten-free blog <a href="http://glutenfreebay.blogspot.com/">here</a>. I love cooking and always have. I learned how to cook as a young kid and I've worked as a prep cook for a catering company and for a restaurant though I am no longer working in that industry. Being a food lover, it was an unpleasant surprise to develop major food intolerances within the past few years. I've been 100% gluten-free since 07/06 out of medical necessity and am cutting down on dairy and soy since they make me ill in large quantities. I'm also working on becoming kosher. So, you'll see reflected in my recipes my recent interest in developing recipes that are both kosher and suitable for people with food allergies, without sacrificing taste. And there's lots of good stuff in my cookbooks for those of you with no food allergies, too, of course! My areas of specialty are gluten-free baking and cooking, dairy substitution, vegan and vegetarian dishes, and Jewish cooking.
