JEWISH STAPLES COMBINE FOR A HANUKKAH DELIGHT
Hanukkah starts Dec. 18, so it’s almost time to break out the potato shredder for latkes.h “Top Chef ” judge Gail Simmons uses a food processor to make short work of what can be an arduous task, but the key step is the one that follows: straining and squeezing the water out of the shredded potatoes. The latkes won’t stay together if you don’t.
Combining two Jewish staples is an apple slaw that goes on top of the pastrami. It’s tossed in an apple cider vinaigrette, a tangy complement to the old-school Russian dressing she seasons with hot sauce and horseradish.
