36. Red Cabbage Salad (fruit & veg carbs)





This could very well be "19. Fresh Broccoli SaladOpen in new Window. fall–wintery little brother. *Delight**Hungry*

Granted, it's a tat milder than above-mentioned, BUT a) only IMHO, and b) that doesn't make it less yummy.*Idea*

And when it's too laff (bland) for you, you can still spice it up with spices of your choice.*ThumbsUpGreen*

If you enjoy it as a main course or a side for Thanksgiving or Christmas Feast, it's full of healthy ingredients, and sating quickly.*ThumbsUpGreen*

I can really imagine Laura making it as as an addition for when Elena invites her and Vince to Thanksgiving in this year's NaNo, or as a staple on the vegetarian menu of the restaurant Laura works at. *StarStruck**Hungry*

So, enough babble. Off to the kitchen!*BigSmile*




Serves: 1 large bowl / about 4 main courses / 6-8 starters

Prep Time: about 1 hr

Degree of Difficulty: Easy




WE NEED

400 gr / 0.9 lb.
red cabbage.

Usually I'm ALL 'buy fresh, BUT: with this it might be better to buy pre-cut*ExclaimP* Then you actually see the cabbage's condition*ExclaimP* When you buy a red cabbage at the supermarket you never know how long it lies there, and how "over" it is already*ExclaimP* When I cut mine open, it was partly rotten inside*Shock2*... although the outside looked totally unobtrusive, and it also didn't feel rotten (= soft/ squishy to the touch!), or smelled bad. *ExclaimP*



If you get a fresh cabbage, though, like from a market / professional gardener, the better. PREP instructions below!*Down*



2 carrots
1 small / middle apple
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
225 gr / 8 oz. mayonnaise
30 ml / 1 US fl.oz. neutral oil Like Canola

1 tbsp
white, mild vinegar Didn't have it, so used dark balsamic. If you wanna use it, don't buy the motor oil*Sick* they sell as such at the supermarket / grocery, but buy the GOOD, REAL stuff from an Italian deli. You'll taste the handful of dollar you extra invested.*Hungry*

100 ml / 3.4 US fl.oz. buttermilk Or NATURAL Greek yoghurt... yes, the good stuff with 10% fat.

30 gr / 1 oz. sugar
1/2 tbsp salt
30 gr / 1 oz. white sesame Sunflower seeds work, too, if you don't like sesame.

EXTRA

1 oz. of cranberries Makes it fruitier and wintrier.




WE DO

1. Add
the cut red cabbage into a large bowl. If you have an actual red cabbage, halve, then quarter it, cut out the stem and cut it into thin stripes.

Peel carrots + appledeseed the apple – and finely grate (or: blitz) them. If you use them, roughly chop the cranberries. Mix with the red cabbage into the bowl. Wash, shake dry, roughly chop the parsley, and add it to the bowl.


2. In a second bowl, add mayo, oil, vinegar, buttermilk, sugar + salt and whisk until creamy. Mix well with the fruit & veg, also add the sesame, and put the bowl into the fridge until it's served.

IDEALLY, this is a few hours so the aromas have time to develop + amalgamate, too. *Idea*


And now...


Guten Hunger! *LeafO* *CountryDE* *Snow1* *Hungry*
