COSTA RICAN COLESLAW
Here is a version of a recipe I learned from Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby, in their indispensable guide to beachfront cooking, ''Let the Flames Begin.'' It has been central in my summer cooking repertory for more than a decade. Opinions may vary on the idea of hearts of palm and avocado in a coleslaw, but only until this dish is eaten.

Steps:
- In a small pot set over medium heat, combine the orange juice and cumin and reduce to 1/2 cup. Let cool.
- Combine the cabbages, carrots, hearts of palm and avocado in a large, nonreactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
- Put the diced tomatoes into a small, nonreactive bowl and add to them the reduced orange juice, the vinegar and olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the slaw and mix to combine. Serve immediately, or cover again and place in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
