Hanukkah recipes
As the weather gets colder and the nights get longer, we know that Hanukkah is rapidly approaching. Chanukah recipes are traditionally rich in oil, based on the themes of the Chanukah story. Hannukah is an eight-day holiday starting on the 25th day of kislev which usually falls during the month of December. Hanukkah commemorates the miracle of the oil, where a small container of pure olive oil which should have burned for a day lasted for 8 days.
The best known traditional Hanukkah food is
latkes.
Similar to rosti or hash browns, these are usually made from potatoes, but can be made from a variety of vegetables. For a change try mixed
vegetable latkes
, or zucchini fritters. To make them a little healthier either fry them in canola oil or bake them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Doughnuts or
donuts
are pieces of dough shaped and fried in oil. Round donuts are often filled, or covered in a glaze. Although horribly unhealthy, they are delicious, especially hot out of the pan! Suggested fillings include jam/jelly, dulce de leche and chocolate ganache.Find more recipes for Hanukkah:
