Hanukkah for Healthy Noshers: Broccoli Latke Recipe<\/a>:<\/p>\n

(CBS) Today is the first day of Hanukkah. That means it’s time for Jews to light the menorah and exchange gifts – and gnosh on traditional fare like potato pancakes (latkes).<\/p>\n

Ordinary latkes aren’t especially good for you – and it doesn’t help matters when they’re topped with a dollop of sour cream. Not exactly the sort of thing to put a smile on the face of your cardiologist.<\/p>\n

But here’s a healthier alternative: broccoli latkes. They’re still fried, but they’re a bit more nutritious, as they include broccoli and a touch of celery seed.<\/p>\n

BROCCOLI LATKES<\/p>\n

(Serves 5)<\/p>\n

1 pound broccoli, chopped into small pieces<\/p>\n

2 pounds potatoes, scrubbed and cubed into small pieces<\/p>\n

1 onion, peeled and finely chopped<\/p>\n

3 cups water<\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon celery seed<\/p>\n

Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n

1 Tablespoon oil<\/p>\n

Cook all the ingredients (except the oil) in a large covered pot over medium heat for 20 minutes. Drain mixture. Mash ingredients together.<\/p>\n

Heat oil in large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Form 10 pancakes. Fry eight minutes on one side. Flip and fry for another five minutes on the other side. Serve Warm.<\/p>\n
