Arook

Arook (Hebrew:ערוק, Arabic: عروق) is a traditional Iraqi dish, resembling a fritter or croquette, and is common among Iraqi Jews.

The dish is composed of potatoes, parsley, salt, onion, egg, flour, black pepper, and green onions, which are chopped, mixed together, and fried.

It is customary to serve the dish on Shabbat mornings, but primarily during the holidays of Sukkot and Hanukkah.

In addition to the vegetarian version, there is also a version containing ground beef or chicken, carrots, and raisins.
