Broccoli Stem And Red Pepper Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Make the dressing: In a stand blender or with an immersion blender, combine and purée the tamari, sesame oil, ginger, scallion, red pepper flakes and lemon juice.
• Make the slaw: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded broccoli stems, carrots, scallions and sesame seeds. Add just enough of the dressing, about 1/4 cup, to coat the vegetables. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining dressing.
• To serve, add more dressing to taste, if desired, and garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds or scallions. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Remaining dressing may be used to dress snap peas, roasted beets, beans or radishes, or used as a marinade for tofu, chicken or seafood.

Steps:

• For the broccoli: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cut the florets into small, fairly even-sized pieces. Trim off the hard bottom of the stems and peel the stems like carrots. Cut the peeled stems into about 1/2-inch rounds. You should have 8 to 9 cups loosely packed broccoli. Arrange the stems and florets in a single layer on the baking sheets, with all of the stems on one sheet. Toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the broccoli florets and stems are tender and a little browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, oil, horseradish, lemon zest and juice and a pinch of sugar or honey. If the dressing is too thick, whisk in a splash of water. Add the tarragon.
• To serve: Toss the broccoli stems in the dressing to coat them fully. Add another pinch of sugar. Add the florets and gently toss to coat. Use scissors to cut the arugula into bite-size pieces into the bowl, add another drizzle of oil and gently toss again.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients. Season with salt to make sure it is delicious. Let sit for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• To make vinaigrette: Put basil leaves, olive oil, honey, water, vinegars, salt& pepper in a blender or food processor and mix until the basil is minced.
• Transfer to a 4 quart bowl.
• Put the cabbage, broccoli, bell pepper and onion in the bowl with the dressing.
• Toss until well mixed.
• Chill at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours before serving.
• To serve, toss well, drain off any excess liquid and adjust the seasonings.
• Serve chilled in a large bowl.
