Oat Potato Pancakes
Yield 5 servings
2 ½ cups rolled oats
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
2 cups milk of your choice (I used 1 & 1/2 cups)
2 large eggs
1 medium-sized yellow potato
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Clean and peel the potato. Then place it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 5 minutes. Remove it from the microwave and let it cool a bit so it’s easy to handle.
Meanwhile, place the rolled oats in a high-powered blender and pulse it until the oats have become more like oat flour.
Add oat flour into a bowl, along with baking powder and salt and mix well.
Pour in the milk.
Then, beat 2 eggs together and add them into the oat mix.
Finally, grate the potato (make sure you handle it carefully if it’s still warm). And add the grated potato into the oat pancake mix.
Stir mix well and set aside for 7-10 minutes. The longer the mixture sits, the less likely will the mixture run when you place it on your hot pan, resulting in thicker pancakes.
Spoon 4-5 spoonfuls of pancake mix onto a greased pan and let it cook a couple of minutes – over a medium flame. Then flip and let cook another 2-4 minutes.
Serve warm!

1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons snipped dill, plus more for garnish
2 large carrots, peeled
Parsley for garnish
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Cut the fish into large chunks, and place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse about 20 times: do not puree, but grind fine. Place in the bowl of an electric mixer.
Heat oil in a large frying pan, and saute onions until soft and transparent. Let cool.
To the fish mixture, add the onions, eggs, 2 cups of cold water, matzoh meal, salt, white pepper, sugar and lemon juice. Beat in an electric mixer at medium speed for about 10 minutes. Add the dill, and grate in the carrots; mix well, using a paddle attachment.
Pour the mixture into a greased 12-cup Bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, and cover with foil.
Place in a larger pan filled with water that is almost boiling.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour, or until the center is solid. Cool for 5 minutes, or until mold is cool to the touch. Run a knife around the edges. Place a flat serving plate on top, then flip over, inverting onto the plate. If the mold doesn't come out easily, give the plate a shake. You should feel or hear it give.
Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Slice as you would a torte, and serve as an appetizer. Garnish with the parsley and remaining dill, and serve with red horseradish.

Lemony Olive Oil Banana Bread
Makes 1 loaf, which stays completely and surprisingly fresh for 4-5 days at room temperature
1 cup / 125g all-purpose flour
1 cup / 140g whole wheat flour
(I used 2 cups all-purpose flour)
3/4 cup /125 g dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup / 4 oz / 115 g coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate (leave some bigger chunks!)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups / 340 g mashed, VERY ripe bananas (~3 bananas)
1/4 cup plain yogurt (I used sour cream)
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350° F, and place a rack in the center. Grease a 9- by 5- inch loaf pan, or equivalent.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add the chocolate pieces and combine well.
In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, eggs, mashed banana, yogurt, zest, and vanilla. Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and fold with a spatula until just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown, about 50 minutes. Swanson says, “You want to get that beautiful color on the cake, but at the same time you don’t want to bake all the moisture out of it. So the minute you’re in that zone, pull it. Erring on the side of under-baking versus over.”
Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn the loaf out of the pan to cool completely.

Sauteed Zucchini with Garlic and Tomato Juice
Yield: 4 servings
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 large zucchini (total weight about 2 pounds), sliced 1/4-inch thick rounds or half rounds
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into medium chunks
1 teaspoon crushed garlic (2 large cloves)
1 jar (net wt 10.2 oz.) roasted sweet pepper strips, drained and chopped
1 & 1/4 cup tomato juice (I used Campbell)
1/8 teaspoon garlic-chili sauce
2 tablespoons each fresh parsley and dill, chopped
Salt, freshly ground pepper, and even sugar to taste
Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for serving
Place zucchini rounds in a large bowl, lightly sprinkle with salt and leave for 10-20 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil, over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, sprinkle with some salt and pepper and saute 8-10 minutes, occasionally stirring. Add carrots and saute more 3-4 minutes. In the end add garlic and sweet pepper strips. Mix everything very well, saute for 1-2 minutes and take out the mixture to a medium bowl.
Drain the water from the bowl with zucchini. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a skillet and place rounds on it, fry on both sides until light-brown color. It's quite possible you will need one more tablespoon of oil to finish frying. Prepare the plate with paper towel to dry fried zucchini.
Low the heat to medium, return onion-pepper mixture to a skillet, add zucchini and tomato juice. Carefully mix everything together. Check for salt, pepper and sugar. Add garlic-chili sauce and mix again. Cover with a lid and saute for 10 minutes. Stir the mixture a couple times and in the end add parsley, dill and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
