* Exported from MasterCook * Celery Root And Carrot Salad - With Kumquats Recipe By : American Express Publishing Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Salads Volume 3, Dec. '98 Vegetables Citrus Fruit Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 large fresh kumquats -- seeded and finely chopped 1/4 cup fresh orange juice 1/4 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons hot and sweet mustard 2 small garlic cloves -- minced 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 2 large celery roots -- (3 pounds)trimmed, -- quartered, peeled 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 pound carrots -- peeled and julienned 1 cup pecans -- (halves),toasted, coarsely crumbled 1. In a bowl, combine the kumquats, orange juice, sour cream, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. make ahead: The kumquat dressing can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days.) 2. Using a mandoline or the large shredding disk of a food processor, cut the celery roots into 2-by-1/4-inch julienne strips. Transfer to a very large bowl and toss with the lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Add the carrots and the kumquat dressing and toss. Cover and refrigerate for 1 day. 3. Taste the salad for seasoning. Transfer it to a large platter and scatter the pecans on top. The celery root can be shredded in a food processor, but you'll get a thicker and smoother result if you cut the vegetables into julienne strips on a mandoline. This salad improves overnight in the refrigerator. Copyright © 1997, American Express Publishing. All rights reserved.

* Exported from MasterCook * Chanukah Potato Latkes (Pancakes) Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 3, Dec. '98 Ethnic Onions Potatoes Side Dishes Pancakes/Waffles Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 4 large white baking potatoes -- peeled in chunks 2 medium onions -- peeled in chunks** 2 large eggs beaten (or eggbeaters equal to 2 eggs) 1/3 cup matzoh meal salt and pepper to taste** corn or peanut oil for sauteing 1. grate the onions finely, either by hand or using the food processor in a pulse/chop motion. the onions can also be grated using the fine blade of a meat grinder 2. grate the potatoes the same way and add to onions 3. drain carefully in a colander to remove excess moisture, but not any of the pulp, and transfer to a mixing bowl 4. add matzah meal, beaten eggs, and salt and pepper. mix together well until thoroughly blended 5. in a large skillet, heat 6 Tbls oil over high heat until sizzling, but not smoking. add 1/4 cup of batter for each latke. don't crowd the pan because the latkes spread. about 4 or 5 would probably be the most you can fit in either a 9 or 12 inch skillet. 6. regulate the heat carefully to prevent the latkes from burning as you cook them. saute each one at least 3 or 4 minutes before you turn them. saute the same amount on the second side. latkes are through cooking when they are golden brown in color, and crisp around the edges. 7. to keep the batter well mixed and free of discoloration, stir the batter from time to time until all the latkes are made. 8. as they each are finished, drain them on a paper towel, and keep them warm in a heated oven set around 175 degrees. this recipe makes between 16 and 20 latkes. 9. the classic accompaniment is sour cream and/or apple sauce. **BEV'S NOTE; my suggestion is that you make a very small latke and cook it. That way you can taste for the seasonings. you might want to add more onion, or more salt and pepper, or use just salt without the pepper. needless to say, there are dozens and dozens of different versions. some don't use matzah meal or flour, some versions use eggs separated, adding the yolks first, beating the egg whites, then folding them in which makes for a lighter latke. but the all contain potatoes, onions, salt, and eggs. Be careful they're addictive, make more than you think you might want. don't worry, they'll get eaten :-) TO FREEZE LATKES: freeze on a baking sheet in single layers. when frozen solid, layer in airtight container with wax paper between each layer. before reheating, return the frozen pancakes to baking sheets. reheat in a single layer without crowding at 450 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes if thawed, 15 to 20 minutes if frozen, or until crisp and bubbling. Bev's Note: this recipe might appear long, but it really is just a step by step format for anyone who hasn't made latkes before. all it boils down to is grate potatoes, onions, add the matzah meal and eggs and seasonings, make sure oil is hot before you start cooking, and if you find you need more oil as cooking goes on, add it, but wait until it's hot again before you put potato mixture in. if oil isn't hot the food absorbs it, and then becomes greasy.
