Leek or Beet Leaf Fritters (Latkes)

This recipe includes one of the simanim of Rosh Hashono. Try it for a good and healthy new year!

  1. Wash a bunch of beet leaves or 3 thick stalks of leeks well. (According to Halacha, you should cut the leek stalks, separate them, soak them in soapy water for a few minutes, and wash them well.)
  2. Blanch in boiling water for a few minutes until softened and drain.
  3. Put the leaves in a food processor together with 2-3 cloves of garlic, an egg, 2-3 tablespoons of bread or oat crumbs, salt, pepper, and cumin, and grind in pulses. Brush baking paper with a little olive oil, and make medium mounds with a spoon from the dough. 
  4. Bake in the oven on the turbo setting until browned and turn for a few more minutes to brown the other side. 🍽️

Enjoy!
