Carrot Confetti Salad Food

CONFETTI COLESLAW

Steps:

• For the salad: Quarter and core the cabbage. Set up a food processor with the slicing blade. Slice the cabbage and then transfer it to a colander. Switch to the grating blade and shred the carrots; add to cabbage. Toss the cabbage and carrots with the salt and set colander in the sink until the vegetables wilt, 1 to 4 hours. Rinse cabbage mixture thoroughly in cold water and spin it dry in a salad spinner.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar with the honey, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
• Quarter, core, and shred the apples. Toss the cabbage mixture with the apples, scallions, and about 1¿2 cup of the dressing. Refrigerate until chilled and the flavors come together, about 1 hour. When ready to serve, toss the watercress with the remaining dressing. Make a ring on a platter with the watercress, and mound the coleslaw in the middle of the ring.

CARROT FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine the carrot, ginger, besan, eggwhite and coriander in a medium bowl. Place the mustard seeds and cumin seeds in a small frying pan over high heat and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic and the seeds begin to pop. Remove the frying pan from the heat and add the seeds to the carrot mixture. Stir to combine.
• Heat oil or ghee in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spoon 3 tablespoonfuls of the carrot mixture into the frying pan. Use the back of a spatula to firmly press the mixture down.

Repeat in 5 more batches with remaining carrot mixture, reheating pan between batches (you will have about 18 fritters).
