Spaghetti with Leek Greens

Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like to waste food. If you made the Burnt Leaks and Cannellini Bean recipe from a previous post, you now have leftover leak leaves. This super easy pasta dish is a great way to use them! It goes really well with shrimp too.

Yakir and I Wish You a Happy Hanukkah!

The eight-day Jewish holiday of Hanukkah begins on the evening of Sunday, December 14.

Here is our article on cooking for the holiday, published in the Orange County Register and other publications:

A Tasty, Healthier Hanukkah

By Faye Levy and Yakir Levy

Everyone loves Hanukkah--the colorful candles, the traditional songs, the gifts, and, of course, the potato latkes. Yet holiday cooking often means excess all that frying, high carbs, and lots of sour cream.

Interestingly, the Hanukkah miracle highlights olive oil, which originated in the eastern Mediterranean, and not potatoes. They were unknown in the Holy Land until long after the discovery of the New World. Making potato latkes for Hanukkah became popular through the influence of European Jews.

Fortunately, we can create delicious, healthier Hanukkah celebrations by emphasizing Mediterranean specialties, such as stews featuring pulses and vegetables. Even potatoes can be enjoyed guilt-free when roasted or prepared as lighter latkes.

This Hanukkah, we plan to make potato and leek latkes with sun-dried tomato tapenade and harissa roasted potatoes. We will also prepare Southern Italian giambotta, a hearty vegetable medley with chickpeas and potatoes; and Sicilian caponata, a sweet-and-sour eggplant dish in an olive-caper sauce.

** Faye Levy is the author of 1,000 Jewish Recipes and Feast from the Mideast.

Recipes:
Vegan Potato Latkes with Leeks
Garlicky Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade
Applesauce Alternatives
Calabrian Vegetable Stew - Giambotta
Harissa Roasted Potatoes
Eggplant Caponata
Garlic Potato Wedges with Pine Nut Parmesan
