Parsnip Latkes with Mustard Cashew Cream and Honey Roasted Apples {gluten free, dairy free}

These gluten free Parsnip Latkes are topped with a dairy free mustard cashew cream and honey roasted apples. Make mini latkes for the perfect party appetiser.

These parsnip fritters were born of a desire to find a new way to enjoy one of my favourite vegetables – the humble parsnip.

Traditionally I’ll roast them so they become lovely and caramelised, sometimes I’ll serve them mashed with carrots (one of my childhood favourites) or even slip them into a parsnip risotto. But these latkes have shot to the top of the favourite list.

The parsnip fritters come together quickly, and transform from a pale creamy beige to a beautiful crunchy golden latke in no time at all. However it is what tops the parsnip latkes that really makes them shine.

Topped with a dairy free mustard cashew cream (which is so close to a cream based sauce it had my husband fooled) and sweet honey roasted apples the parsnip latkes become something special that would be as welcome over a few Friday night drinks as they would be at a fancy dinner party. Admittedly the accompanying mustard cashew cream and honey roasted

Admittedly the accompanying mustard cashew cream and honey roasted apples do require a little more time, but, in my opinion, they are definitely worth it.

Instructions

• Combine the parsnip, spring onions, parsley, garlic, chickpea flour and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the beaten egg and stir until the egg is evenly distributed through the mixture.
• Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and cover the base of pan with oil. Add spoonfuls of the mixture and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden. Place on a plate lined with paper towel to drain for a few minutes before transferring the latkes to the oven to keep warm while you cook the remainder.

• To make the cashew cream drain the cashews and place in a blender along with the mustard and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and season to taste.
