SHREDDED CABBAGE & RADISH SLAW



Shredded Cabbage & Radish Slaw image

Mexican taco stands typically offer crunchy pickled vegetables to accompany their tacos. Shredded cabbage and sliced radishes are often found in small containers marinating in vinegar, to which guests can help themselves. The contrasting colors and textures, along with the vivid flavors of these toppings, make for a great salad and accompaniment to any meal.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 small head white cabbage, cored and thinly shredded (3 cups)
3 large radishes, sliced into thin strips (1/2 cup)
2 scallions, tops trimmed and thinly sliced (1/4 cup)
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, plus 1 sprig for garnish
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the cabbage, radishes, scallions, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a sealable plastic bag and mix well. Expel as much air as possible and seal the bag. Allow the vegetables to marinate for at least 30 minutes, and up to overnight.
  • Using tongs or two forks, remove the vegetables from the marinating liquid (allow excess vinegar to drain off) and place in a mixing bowl. Discard the remaining vinegar mixture.
  • Before serving, add the olive oil, cilantro, and black pepper and toss well. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a fresh sprig of cilantro.
  • TECHNIQUES
  • Shredding Cabbage
  • The slicing side of a box grater works really well for this. However, if you don't have one, you can shred the cabbage with your knife by cutting the cabbage in half, removing its core, and then slicing the cabbage very thinly.
  • Marinating the Vegetables
  • I find marinating vegetables in a sealed plastic bag that has had all of its air expelled is an efficient way of making sure all the vegetables have been exposed to the marinade. (It is also compact enough to fit easily in your refrigerator.) If you don't have a plastic bag, use whatever container you have on hand. In that case, just make sure to stir the vegetables often.
  • ADVANCE PREPARATION
  • The vegetables can marinate overnight and will benefit from the extra time. However, in order for the cilantro to stay fresh, toss it with the olive oil no sooner than 1 hour before serving.

CHILEAN CABBAGE AND AVOCADO SLAW



Chilean Cabbage and Avocado Slaw image

Coleslaw meets guacamole here in this utterly simple mix of shredded cabbage, salt, lemon, and puréed avocado. The chef Iliana de la Vega, who was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, served it at a delicious Latin-themed lunch she prepared at the "Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives" conference this year at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley. I couldn't get enough of it. I sat with Iliana at the lunch and asked her about the salad. "Just salt the cabbage, let it sit for a while, then add lots of lemon juice and the mashed avocado," she said. That really is all there is to it. Shred the cabbage thin and for best results let it sit, after salting generously, for an hour or more, to tenderize it and draw out strong-tasting juices.

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 large cabbage, cored and finely shredded (about 1 pound cabbage, which produces 5 cups shredded cabbage)
Salt to taste
4 to 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (more to taste)
1 large or 1 1/2 medium-size ripe avocados
Freshly ground pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Place shredded cabbage in a large bowl or colander and salt generously. Tossand rub the salt into cabbage with your hands. Let sit for 1 hour or longer (refrigerate if longer than 1 hour). If cabbage tastes too salty, rinse, then squeeze out excess moisture and transfer to a dry bowl.
  • Toss cabbage with half the lemon juice.
  • Mash avocados in a mortar and pestle, or in a bowl using a fork, potato masher or a whisk. Add salt to taste and remaining lemon juice and mix until smooth. Scrape into the bowl with cabbage and stir together until shredded cabbage is thoroughly coated with mashed avocado. Taste and adjust salt. Add pepper if desired. If mixture isn't creamy, add more avocado.
