Day 23 - LATKES

Following yesterday's supermarket sweep, here's a recipe using the matzo meal (£1.50 reduced to 10p :-) which I've now discovered is ground traditional Jewish unleavened bread. Tried it for tea and it's not bad. Went well with the babaganoush (£2 reduced to 10p :-) and some lettuce from a quick swoop at the Coop earlier (£1.10 reduced to 20p :-) ....

 Matzo Meal Latkes

Ingredients
2 cooking apples
2 potatoes
2 onions
1 cup matzo meal
2 eggs
Salt & pepper
Oil, for frying

Instructions
1. Peel and grate the apples, potatoes and onions.
2. Mix all the ingredients together except the oil.
3. Heat the oil in a frying pan.
4. Add heaped tablespoonfuls of the batter to the hot frying pan and flatten each one out with a spoon.
5. Cook until each pancake is brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side of each pancake, another 2 minutes.
 6. Serve warm. Makes about 12 pancakes.

Note: This batter is very thick. After you spoon it into the frying pan, be sure to flatten it out so that it will cook all the way through. If you find that the batter sticks to the spoon, dip the spoon in some water.
