1/2 c raw cauliflower

1 c. zucchini

1/2 tsp. garlic paste

2 egg

2 tbsp. regular sour cream

3 tbsp. olive oil

4 tbsp. vanilla or plain protein powder

Makes 4 servings

Directions:

  1. Shred raw zucchini then measure (raw).
  2. Chop cauliflower florets by hand or in food processor, then measure (raw).
  3. Steam cauliflower a bit to soften, either on the stove or in the microwave. Briefly mash with a potato masher
  4. After measured, place shredded zucchini on a plate and sprinkle a small amount of salt on top. Allow to sit for a few minutes, then blot it with a paper towel (this removes excess water from the zucchini so that the latke batter is not too watery).
  5. Mix vegetables, eggs, garlic paste, olive oil and protein powder in a bowl.
  6. Heat a pan with olive oil.
  7. Pour latke batter into pan, making four “pancakes”. Cook until brown on edges, then flip and brown on the other side. If it falls apart, reshape it as it cooks.
  8. Remove from heat and place on a plate to cool.
  9. To make the sour cream topping, mix the sour cream and mayonnaise together. Spoon the mixture onto the latkes.
