Savoy Slaw With Mint And Cilantro Recipes

Steps:

• Shave the cabbage with a sharp knife or mandoline so you have thin ribbons. Cut the scallions long and on the bias so you have pieces similar in shape to the cabbage. Toss the cabbage, scallions and cilantro in a large salad bowl.
• Make the dressing by combining the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar and the zest of the limes in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and finish with a squeeze of lime juice. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Finely grate the zest of one of the limes and add it to the bowl of a mini food processor. Squeeze in the juice of the lime and add the garlic, cilantro, coarsely chopped scallions, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until roughly chopped. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon water and continue to pulse until the mixture becomes a chunky sauce.
• Toss the halibut in a bowl with all but 1 tablespoon of the sauce and let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes while you prepare the cabbage and the sour cream.
• In a large bowl, toss the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro sauce with the cabbage, finely chopped scallions, the juice of the second lime, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, the juice of the remaining lime and a pinch of salt.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add about half of the fish, so the pieces are in a single layer, and cook, turning, until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate and cook the remaining fish with the remaining oil. Divide the fish among the tortillas and top with cabbage. Serve with the sour cream and salsa verde on the side.

Steps:

• Wash the herbs and greens. Fill a large bowl or clean sink with cold water, and add the leaves. Swish them around to loosen dirt, then gently lift out and dry in a salad spinner or on clean kitchen towels. (You can do this up to a day ahead, refrigerating the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers with a paper towel to absorb excess water.)
• When ready to serve, whisk together the salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes, lime juice and olive oil in a small bowl, then check the seasonings. Put the leaves in a large bowl, drizzle the dressing over them and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk vinegar, sesame oil, vegetable oil, and chiles in medium bowl. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Vegetables and dressing can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover separately and chill.
• Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat evenly. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
• More info:
• Savoy cabbage is a mild-flavored cabbage with green, crinkly leaves. The veggie gets its name from the Savoy region in the western Alps, where the cabbage may have originated.
• Ingredient tip:
• Daikon ("large root" in Japanese) radishes look like giant white carrots. They have a mild radish flavor and are available at some supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Steps:

• Light a charcoal or wood-burning grill and let the coals burn down to glowing embers.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk the vinegar and sugar until sugar dissolves. Whisk in the oil, followed by the mustard and caraway seeds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Lay the cabbage quarters directly on the coals and roast until all sides are charred, turning with tongs, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a sheet pan and let cool.
• Discard the tough core of the cabbage then thinly slice the cabbage crosswise. Add the sliced cabbage to the dressing and toss to coat. Season with salt, sugar and vinegar to taste. Refrigerate until serving and serve within a couple hours of mixing. Just before serving, stir in the mint.
