Rice Latkes

This Hanukka I kept a very classical menu and when I've read this Rice Latkes recipe the last week, I couldn't stop thinking about preparing it as the sweet part of the Shabbat menu. This time, I used the recipe without too many modifications - maybe more sugar and cinnamon than recommended.

2 coups white rice, cooked. If you want to know more about cooked rice, I found a very good and simple reference here.

2 eggs, well beaten

3 tablespoon wheat germ or whole wheat flour

2 tablespoon sugar

generous pinch of cinnamon

oil, for frying

Combine all ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Drop by tablespoonful into hot oil and fry on both sides until golden brown. Yields 8-12 latkes. 

Bon Appetit!

Tip of the day/week/month

I am simply passing forward the wisdom shared by my Indian friend:
Before boiling the rice, wash it several times - 3-4 could be enough - in order to get rid of all the impurities.

The rice recommendation of the week

For almost one year, many time ago, I ate rice almost daily. Remembering these times, I tried myself various imaginary receipes. 

Here is the most recent:

Boiled rice

1 avocado

chopped garlic, to taste

1 zucchini, chopped and fried in the pan with olive oil

salt, to taste taste

The boiled rice, plus avocado, garlic and fried zucchini are fried together in the pan, for maximum 10 minutes. To be served separately or together with other meals or salads.

Enjoy your meal and have a happy eating week!
