SWEET AND TANGY COLESLAW WITH FENNEL AND ORANGE
Steps:
- 1. Combine vinegar, oil, orange juice, and pepper in medium glass or metal bowl. Place bowl in freezer until vinegar mixture is well chilled, at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes. 2. While mixture chills, toss cabbage with 1 teaspoon salt and sugar in large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with large plate and microwave on high power for 1 minute. Stir briefly, recover, and continue to microwave on high power until cabbage is partially wilted and has reduced in volume by one-third, 30 to 60 seconds longer. 3. Transfer cabbage to salad spinner and spin cabbage until excess water is removed, 10 to 20 seconds. Remove bowl from freezer, add cabbage, orange zest, fennel, fennel fronds, and raisins to cold vinegar mixture and toss to combine. Adjust flavor with sugar or vinegar and season with salt to taste. Refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes. Toss again before serving.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the coleslaw to have a crisp texture.
- Be sure to rinse the cabbage and carrots well before slicing them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- If you are using a pre-packaged coleslaw mix, be sure to drain it well before using it. This will help to remove any excess moisture.
- For a sweeter coleslaw, use a sweeter variety of orange, such as a Valencia or navel orange.
- For a more tart coleslaw, use a tarter variety of orange, such as a Seville or mandarin orange.
- Be sure to taste the dressing before adding it to the coleslaw. You may need to adjust the amount of sugar or vinegar depending on your personal preferences.
- Serve the coleslaw immediately or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
