Cooking Directions

  1. Halve the zucchini crosswise. Cut the zucchini flesh off the seedy center and coarsely grate it in a food processor. Or grate it on a box grater until you reach the seedy center. Discard the center. In a food processor or on a box grater, coarsely grate the potato and onion. Transfer the grated zucchini, potato and onion to a colander and squeeze dry. Let stand for 2 minutes, then squeeze again. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large bowl. Add the matzo meal, egg, lemon juice, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until shimmering. Drop packed teaspoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet and flatten them with the back of a spoon. Cook the latkes over moderately high heat until the edges are golden, about 1 1/2 minutes; flip and cook until golden on the bottom, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
  3. Arrange the latkes on a platter and top each one with a dollop of sour cream and a little red pepper jelly, smoked trout and golden trout roe; sprinkle with the scallion greens. Serve warm.

Yield: 24 servings

3. Still Hungry?

'My mom used to make zucchini fritters on the Jewish holidays,' says Klein. Klein's latke version is unexpected and delicious, especially with red pepper jelly and smoked trout.

Notes:

Golden trout roe is available at specialty food stores.

  • This is a traditional recipe

    Lance - December 12, 2006 01:40:52 PM PST
    This is a very traditional recipe just like my grandmother used to make. She had a zucchini farm and it had a few red peppers too. And was adjacent to a trout stream. This was in the old country. People who say this isn't a traditional recipe are, how shall I say, "nuts", which is what we used to call crazy people in the old country.

    Get over yourself legaleagle60422 . It is like saying a traditional chocolate chip cookie is made with yadayadayada, instead of what's a mahoo. If it is kosher, who cares????????

  • Traditioooon...tradition!

    Wow. Lots of uptight folks on here. If it were supposed to be a "traditional" recipe for latkes, wouldn't it SAY so? Guess what...it DOESN'T say it's "traditional." Anyway, it sounds yummy to me. You want traditional, go make traditional--and stop kvetching when someone adds interesting ingredients to a recipe that is otherwise a little blah.

  • Zucchini Latkes with Red Pepper Jelly and Smoked Trout

    MJ - December 12, 2006 01:30:06 PM PST
    I'm sorry, this is not traditional Channunak Latkes. Traditional Latkes are made with potatoes, salt, flower, eggs, and fried without any additional stuff added to them with the exception of apple sauce or sour cream.
