RECIPE: Low carb latkes
Jim's Low Carb Latkes
1 Medium head cauliflower 1 Medium turnip 1/4 to 1/2 cup soy flour 3 eggs (beaten) 1 onion (grated) oil for frying Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in electric frying pan to high (about 400 degrees on my pan.) Cut cauliflower into pieces and steam. In food processor, *grate* the *raw* turnip. Grate the steamed cauliflower in processor. In a collander, rinse and drain turnip & cauliflower mixture well. Add beaten eggs, grated onion and 1/4 cup of soy flour. Mix well. Add more soy flour if needed to keep the mixture sticky so it doesn't fall apart in the frying pan. Press the mixture *firmly* into a large spoon (serving spoon?) and then using another small spoon (or fork, or your fingers) push it off the spoon into the hot oil. Fry until edges start getting golden brown, then flip and fry until the other side is golden brown. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel on a plate. Repeat until all the latkes are made. Eat with a nice dollop of sour cream on top. Makes about 15 latkes. Total: 66.5g carbs - 22g fiber = 44.5g net carbs 1 Latke: 4.4 g carbs - 1.5g fiber = 2.9g net carbs NOTES: I made these latkes along with regular potato latkes and many people commented about how these were better. If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the turnip and cauliflower by hand, but it can get messy, and make sure you wait until the cauliflower cools before grating it by hand. You can make them in advance and store in the fridge (for a day or two.) Heat covered in oven or microwave to warm them up. The grated turnip gives the latkes more of the look of a potato latke, because when grated they look like potatoes. You can try adding more turnip, to get more of that look or remove them altogether and have something that tastes just as good. -- Jim Marnott 231/194/194 (Hit goal on 22 Nov '03 -- exactly 6 months later) Atkins since 22 May '03 Gym since 1 sept '03 |

Jim's Low Carb Latkes I cant wait till after induction to try these. I loved regular Latkes but would always bloat out and get sleepy after eating them. Id never eat em with apple sauce JUST salt and sour cream! Wegmans Mkt has Latkes the size of a salad plate, I slept for 2 hours after one of those. How do you feel about the FauxLatkes made of Radishes? preesi |
