REUBEN LATKE 2019 Latke Festival Winner: Best Vegetarian Latke & People’s Choice by Dima Martseniuk, Executive Chef, Veselka
Veselka presented two versions of their Reuben Latke in 2019: a vegetarian version and one with smoked country ham. Both featured their housemade sauerkraut, which you can order on- line, and their twist on a Russian dressing. Use a smoked ham (or pastrami!) of your choice, and assemble this latke using their award-winning latke recipe and the Ukranian Dressing below.
