Can you believe it’s almost Chanukah? I can! Chanukah already came early in our house, when, by accident, my son opened an Amazon box containing his present. Oh well!
This year I came up with a new latke recipe that is modern, beautiful and contemporary. This recipe is versatile, delicious and can be served for breakfast, lunch or supper. I happen to love beets, and what is more exciting than a purple latke? Even my three-year-old ventured to try one! The crunchy arugula, pesto drizzle and runny egg elevate this dish to extraordinary. Wow your guests by making this beautiful dish for your next Chanukah party! (P.S. A great nonstick pan works wonders for perfect latkes and sunny side up eggs!)
