Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup dried currants or dried cranberries
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1 large head broccoli (14.7 ounces or 416 grams), cut into 6 large pieces, including stems (3 cups)
1/4 small head red cabbage (271 grams or 9.6 ounces), cut into thirds (about 1 3/4 cups)
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
1/2 small red onion (67 grams or 2.4 ounces), thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus leaves for garnish
1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped, plus leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the currants in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit until soft and plump, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, mix the vinegar, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified.
  • Shred the broccoli florets and stems and red cabbage using the shredding disc of a food processor (see Cook's Note). Add to the bowl with the dressing and fold in the currants, almonds, onions, cilantro, parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with more cilantro and parsley leaves, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest broccoli. Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has brown spots.
  • Cut the broccoli into small, uniform pieces. This will help ensure that the slaw cooks evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your slaw. This will add flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, cabbage, and red onion.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a bit of crunch.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will weigh down the slaw and make it less refreshing.
  • Serve the slaw chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the slaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Broccoli slaw is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a side dish that is both delicious and healthy, give broccoli slaw a try!
