Chanukkah Special- Alien Latkes *Original Recipe*

Chanukkah Special- Alien Latkes

It's that time of year to fire up the skillet and make the latkes. Traditional, latkes are made from potatoes. These are a funky fresh twist on an old tradition, and yes their green. You could say these latkas are out of this world. ^^

Ingredients:

1 shredded zucchini
1/2 of a small red onion chopped
1 green onion chopped
5-6 mushrooms minced
3 egg whites
3 tablespoons of grape-seed oil


Preparation:

1) Prep your vegetables: grate zucchini, chop green and red onions, and mince mushrooms, put it all together in a large bowl.

2) In a small bowl beat egg white, ( you can use whole eggs if you wish)

3) Then add eggs to the large bowl and mix contents together.

4) Add oil to skillet and heat it up. When skillet is warm take about 2 tablespoon of zucchini mix and put it on the skillet to form latkas ( the should look like cakes or patties). *Don't make them too large; their easier to turn when there small.*

5) Cook until they're nice and brown at the bottom, then flip and cook the other side.

6) Repeat with the remain mixture.

7) Don't forget the sourcream and apple sauce, when your done. If you really want an out of the world flavor add ketchup instead.
