Peeled potatoes and chopped shallots traditionally go into the making of latkes but Trader Joe's Cauliflower Pancakes reinvent the classic Hanukkah latkes with a base of riced cauliflower, Parmesan cheese and leeks.
The palm-sized patties are easily prepared from frozen for holiday entertaining or weekday lunches, and promise to satisfy with their lightly fried crispy exteriors and soft interiors. When it comes to serving these cauliflower pancakes, Trader Joe's recommends a wide variety of sauces and flavor pairings, including everything from sour cream and applesauce to classic condiments like ketchup. The Trader Joe's Cauliflower Pancakes are kosher-certified and for the season, consumers can find the boxes in the frozen food section of stores.
Cauliflower has become a popular substitute for everything from rice to glutinous pizza crusts, appealing to consumers who are looking to enrich their diets with more plant-powered ingredients.
