Carrot & Beet Latkes with Raw Savory Applesauce
Gather This:
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp coarse salt
½ tbsp Green Dream
¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
½ pound carrots (about 4 medium), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
¼ pound beets (about 2 medium), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
1/4 pound sweet or russet potato (about 1 small or 1/2 medium), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
Do This:
Stir carrots, beets, potato, Green Dream, salt, pepper and lemon juice and toss until combined and evenly coated.
Fill a large skillet with about ½ inch oil. Place over medium heat until oil is almost smoking. (To test, drop a small bit of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle upon contact.) Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each latke. Lightly tamp down to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with cashew cream and applesauce (recipe below).
Savory Apple Sauce
Gather This:
2 lb Granny Smith apples (4), peeled, cored, and chopped
½ cup water
2 tbsp ghee
1 tbsp Green Dream
1 tbsp cider vinegar
4 garlic cloves, quartered
½ tsp chopped fresh marjoram or thyme
Do This:
Simmer all ingredients except Green Dream in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, covered, stirring occasionally, until apples fall apart and garlic is tender, about 15 minutes. Mash garlic into applesauce. Add Green Dream, mix well. Season with salt + pepper.
