>
> In the past 6 years since I"ve been gluten free, I"ve used corn meal in my
> latkes.
> GREAT substitute for matzoh meal  (even better, I think).
>
> But....this year I am pretty strict paleo...
> Has anyone tried latkes w/ coconut flour, or almond meal?
> How was it? Any other ideas?
> Also what kind of oil did you fry them in?
> I've always used either peanut or canola oil.
> I think coconut oil doesn't get hot enough to properly fry the latkes.
>
> Thanks for any info on this.
> Best, June Kamerling

> My version of paleo latkes is very easy to make:

Ingredients:
Three green plantains
Two eggs
(optional) one shallot
(optional) Some portabello mushroom (about 1 large one)
One can (or as much as needed) of Coconut milk
Seasonings to taste
-----------------------------
shred the plantains using either a shredder blade in the food processor or
a manual tool
Chop the shallot and mushroom if you want to use them
Add the chopped mixture, the eggs, and about half a can of coconut milk to
a mixing bowl
Add seasonings
Use an immersion blender to make the batter - add additional coconut milk
until it's just a bit on the thin side (the plantains will absorb some of
the liquid and thicken it up)

While it sets, pre-heat a non-stick skillet

Fry the suckers!

I make an avocado-based faux sour cream to go on top.
