Slaw Recipe
Going to try this, got it in an e-mail today.
Slightly Spicy Slaw
This works well as a side to most anything grilled: meat, shrimp, poultry or fish. To vary the recipe, try adding crunchy bean sprouts or shredded carrots for a portion of the cabbage.
1 lg. clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno or serrano chile
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 lime, juiced (you will want about 2 Tbls. worth)
2 Tbls. rice or apple cider vinegar
2 tsp. natural cane sugar
2 Tbls. soy sauce
2 Tbls. sesame oil
1/2 large red cabbage
2 scallions, finely cut into rounds or shredded into thin 3" lengths
3 Tbls. fresh basil leaves, sliced ribbon-thin (a chiffonade)
3 Tbls. fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/2 c. toasted cashews, coarsely chopped (use as an optional garnish)
In a medium bowl, combine garlic, chile, red pepper flakes, lime juice, vinegar, sugar, soy and sesame oil. Set aside.
Slice cabbage in half again and then slice into thin shreds. Add to bowl along with scallions and herbs. Toss well. Place in the fridge and let sit for about least one hour to let the flavors marry.
Just before serving, you can sprinkle on some chopped cashews for extra crunch.
