# 2 - PLAINTAIN LATKES WITH AVOCADO CREMA
Latkas without potatoes
INGREDIENTS FOR PLAINTAIN LATKES
- 2 Green plantains
- ¼ Onion (yellow) (large) (or ½ small yellow onion)
- 2 Garlic cloves (grated)
- ½ t Paprika
- ½ t Smoked chipotle
- 1 Egg (whole) (whisked)
- ¼ C Matza meal
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- Canola or grapeseed oil, for frying
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTAIN LATKAS
- Use a paring knife to peel off the tough skin on the plantain.
- Chop into smaller pieces, but large enough to fit through the food processor
(or you can use a hand grater if you prefer).
- Using a food processor with the small shredding blade, shred the plantains & the onion.
- Then add the mix into a bowl & grate the garlic cloves, add the egg, matzo meal & spices
& mix everything together well. - Then heat a large frying pan with enough canola oil to coat the bottom & allow to come
up to about 360 F. - Next test it with a small piece of batter & if it sizzles, it’s ready.
- Then spoon a tablespoon-sized amount of latke mixture into the pan & slowly add it
to the hot oil. - Lightly grease the back of your spoon & gently press down on the latke so it fries
up evenly. - Add about 3-4 latkes to a large skillet.
- Fry on first side until golden brown & crispy, about 3-4 minutes then use a spatula to
carefully flip over & continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until crispy. - Once done, remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet & sprinkle with salt as soon as
they are done frying.
