Rainbow Cole Slaw

I love cabbage, and this really hit the spot. So much so that I ate nearly the entire bowl myself. Using heirloom red cabbage and yellow carrots and fresh herbs from our garden the colors were intense. This photo doesn’t really do it justice. The taste was just divine, and the raw energy packed into this quick-to-prepare meal was just what I needed.

If you don’t like the taste of apple cider vinegar tonics, this is a good way to get the health benefits of ACV without really noticing it. You can also add whatever fresh herbs you like, I used cilantro, parsley and wild mint.

Ingredients:

1/2 small red cabbage
1 large carrot
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup roughly chopped hazelnuts or almonds
fresh herbs (such as coriander, parsley, mint)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or hemp seed oil
1 teas umeboshi vinegar
3 teas apple cider vinegar, or kombucha vinegar
1 teas rapadura sugar or agave nectar (optional)
Himalayan or celtic sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Grate the carrot and finely slice the cabbage. Chop the fresh herbs and toss with the cabbage and carrot.
2. Add the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper and toss gently until the vegetables are evenly coated.
3. Add seeds and nuts and serve.

Fried Cabbage & Garlic with Pistachio

Ingredients:
3 cups red & green cabbage, finely sliced
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
4 T olive oil
1 T water
1 T soy sauce
2 teas parsley, chopped
salt & pepper to taste
garnish with pistachio nuts

Put all the ingredients into a large saucepan on a medium heat and cover. Once you hear the cabbage start to fry, shake the pan while holding the lid on.

Continue to cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes giving the saucepan a good shake every minute or so.

When done the cabbage should be wilted but glistening.

This dish should take less than 30 minutes to prepare and will serve 4.

Variations:

• use Savoy cabbage, or a combination of red and green cabbage
• after cooking and before serving sprinkle with roasted cashew nuts or pine nuts
• add thinly sliced strips of fried tofu

Wheat free & Gluten Free
Soy sauce is the one item in this recipe that might contain wheat. So if your soy sauce is wheat or gluten free – the recipe will be too.
