Yield Makes 6 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 26

For the slaw:
1/2 head of green cabbage (about 1/2 pound)
1 small carrot
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped cilantro

1 tablespoon lime juice
11/2 teaspoons tamari or soy sauce
11/2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce

Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
6 corn tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
Tomato salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the slaw:
  • Cut the cabbage into the thinnest strips you can and make sure those pieces are no longer than 2 inches. This is a great time to get good with your knife if you are looking for a silver f**king lining in all that chopping. Chop the carrot into thin matchsticks of the same length. Got that s**t down now, right? In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, vinegar, oil, and salt. Add the dressing right before you are going to eat and toss that s**t well. Fold in the cilantro just before serving.
  • Make the tacos:
  • Crank your oven to 400°F. Chop the cauliflower into small florets no bigger than a quarter. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the beer, broth, lime juice, tamari, hot sauce, and garlic. Add the cauliflower and simmer for about 90 seconds. Drain.
  • In a large bowl. toss the spices, salt, and olive oil together. Add the cauliflower and onion and stir 'til those f**kers are coated. Dump it on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until browned, stirring halfway, about 20 minutes.
  • To assemble the tacos, warm the tortillas in the oven or microwave for a hot minute and then pile them high with the cauliflower filling, slices of avocado, some of the slaw, and top with plenty of salsa.

LIME AND PEANUT COLESLAW



LIME AND PEANUT COLESLAW image

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups unsalted raw peanuts
1/2 of a medium-large cabbage
1 basket of tiny cherry tomatoes, washed and quartered
1 jalapeno chile, seeded and diced
3/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon + fine-grain sea salt

Steps:

  • In a skillet or oven (350F) roast the peanuts for 5 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice along the way, until golden and toasted. Cut the cabbage into two quarters and cut out the core. Using a knife shred each quarter into whisper thin slices. The key here is bite-sized and thin. If any pieces look like they might be awkwardly long, cut those in half. Combine the cabbage, tomatoes, jalapeno (opt), and cilantro in a bowl. In a separate bowl combine the lime juice, olive oil, salt. Add to the cabbage mixture and gently stir to combine. Just before serving fold in the peanuts (add them too earl and they lose some of their crunch). Taste and adjust the flavor with more salt if needed.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh limes. Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, but it will not have the same bright, citrusy flavor.
  • If you don't have green cabbage, you can use red cabbage or a mix of the two.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly so that it will absorb the dressing more easily.
  • Add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as shredded carrots, celery, or radishes.
  • For a creamy coleslaw, add some mayonnaise or sour cream to the dressing.
  • Season the coleslaw to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving so that the flavors have time to meld.

Conclusion:

Lime coleslaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it creamy or crunchy, sweet or tangy, there is a lime coleslaw recipe out there for you.
