A yummy Chanukah inspired Micro Cheese Board we made for Kosher Australia recently using our Ashed Chèvre… but this was so yummy it could absolutely be a daily thing (we won’t tell) 🤩
MINI POTATO LATKES (CAKES)
Finely grate white potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Firmly squeeze or strain out excess liquid
Take about a teaspoon worth of grated potato, and flatten in your palms to form a mini latke. Oil a hot pan and place latkes in the pan. Cook until crispy and golden on both sides. Lay on paper towel to absorb excess oil
RED ONION PEAR JAM
4 cups red onion cut into fine strips
1 tsp olive oil
2 pears, diced (skin removed if desired)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup coconut sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
In saucepan sauté onions for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add pears, vinegar, sugar, salt and cayenne
Bring to a boil stirring regularly, then reduce to simmer
Simmer until liquids have evaporated and you have a jam like consistency (about 1-2 hours), stirring every now and then to prevent burning or sticking
MINI PONCHKAS (DONUTS)
1 cup self raising flour
1/2 cup plant based milk
Vegetable oil to enable donuts to be submerged in pot
Sugar and cinnamon to coat
Raspberry / strawberry jam to fill (if desired)
Heat oil in pot on stove. Mix flour and milk in a bowl to an even sticky consistency. Using two teaspoons, get a half teaspoon worth of mixture and push it off the spoon into the hot oil using the back of the second spoon. Repeat this step until you have used up all of your mixture. Fry until golden brown (do not ‘over fry’!). Once cooked, put in a bowl with sugar and cinnamon and toss around until coated. If filling with jam, dig holes into one side of donuts using a skewer or similar and fill with jam using a syringe or thin implement
