\nI got this recipe from a cafe owner in Haifa in 2007. I’m convinced she only gave it to me because she knew I wouldn’t be able to make them. I really am not good at frying round things. Anyway hers were fantastic. The cafe was next door to Tamar Messer’s<\/a> gallery and studio which is at 5 Ma’ale HaShihrur.<\/p>\n

Ke\u2019Tzitzot Krishah \u2013 Leek patties (ktsisot Krisha)<\/p>\n

1 Leek (white part only)
\n2 potatos (small)
\n1 onion (med \u2013 finely minced)
\n1 egg
\n3 TBSP breadcrumbs
\nParsley (to taste \u2013 finely minced)<\/p>\n

Boil the leek and the potato and mash well. Add everything else. If it\u2019s too wet, add more breadcrumbs. Make into 1 1\/2\u201d balls and fry in \u00bd inch or less of oil.<\/p>\n

Here is some more information on the subject:<\/a><\/p>\n

“Kyeftes de Prasa” taken together means “leek patties” in Ladino, which is a Jewish dialect that is primarily a mixture of Spanish and Hebrew, spoken by Spanish Jews when they were living in Spain prior to the Spanish Inquisition in 1492, although there are also words taken from Arabic and Portuguese in Ladino as well. More specifically, “Kyeftes”, “Kifticas”, or “Keftedes” (“Kifte” in Turkish; “Keftas” or “Keftes” in Greek) means “patties” or “pancakes” in Ladino, and “Prasa” or “Prassa” (“Prasaa” in Greek) means “leeks” in Ladino. Since the late 15th century, Sephardic Jews have migrated to the Ottoman Empire (now Turkey) and Greece among other countries and have created many different types of recipes for leek patties. Sephardim who have migrated to North America have brought many variations of leek pattie recipes with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
