Every year, I get asked about my potato latkes recipe, but there are also many other latke recipes! Whether you celebrate one or the other, we all love the traditional fried foods that are associated with this Festival of Lights. Holidays are an opportunity to maintain traditions, but also to renew or mix traditions. This Hanukkah, I bring you dainties: the biblical lentil pancakes. By their name only —love cakes— they would be more appropriate for Valentine’s Day or, its Jewish-Israeli equivalent, Tu (15) B’Av. Their ingredients definitely make them a wholesome and, some would say, healthier alternative to the other fried concoctions with which we celebrate Hanukkah. Their flavor and texture makes them simply delicious. These pancakes are for the health conscious foodies, as well as the more discriminating palates among us. They are so easy to make and, with a minor adjustment, they can be gluten free.
