Wild Rice Pancakes with Sour Cream and Caviar

A delicious variation of a latke with the "rice” adding a chewy texture and nutty flavour to a traditional crispy potato pancake.

The pancake mix contains equal volumes of cooked wild rice and grated potato with a little egg and flour as binders. The author provides instructions and helpful tips for preparing the rice - which isn’t rice at all, but a type of grass - great to know if you’ve never worked with it.

The recipe appears in the appetizer section of the book and I have served them with the suggested sour cream and caviar at a party and they were fantastic, but they’re also wonderful as a side with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
