אירוח בגליל - משק נוריאל

Since the first day of Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving this year, we decided to draw on a staple of that all-American holiday to make a delicious variation - pumpkin latkes. We top ours with a cranberry-spiked sour cream, but applesauce would be just as delicious. PUMPKIN LATKES WITH SPICED CRANBERRY SOUR CREAM Sour cream not on your Hanukkah-Thanksgiving menu? Applesauce is an easy and delicious substitute. Start to finish: 30 minutes, Servings: 10 1 cup sour cream 1/4 cup finely chopped dried cranberries 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves Vegetable oil 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 1 small sugar pumpkin, peeled, seeded and shredded (about 3 cups) 2 eggs 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Toasted pecans, to garnish In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, cranberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside. In a medium skillet over medium, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion and cook until very tender and well browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the onion (reserving the skillet) to a medium bowl and mix in the shredded pumpkin, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper. Wipe out the skillet used to cook the onions. Return it to medium-high heat and add a 1/4 inch of vegetable oil. Working in batches, scoop the pumpkin mixture by the heaping tablespoonful into the pan, 3 or 4 scoops at a time. Flatten each scoop with the back of the spatula and cook until browned on both sides and tender at the center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain. Serve topped with the cranberry sour cream and garnished with toasted pecans. http://www.mlive.com/cooking/2013/10/pumpkin_not_potatoes_make_thes.html

Thanksgiving, Hanukkah recipe: Pumpkin, not potatoes, make these latkes winners | MLive.com http://www.mlive.com/cooking/2013/10/pumpkin_not_potatoes_make_thes.html Though potatoes have their own symbolism in this Jewish holiday, it is the oil used in the frying that is particularly significant; it symbolizes the long-lasting oil burned in the temple lamps in the story of Hanukkah.
