Eastern Broccoli Slaw Food

INCREDIBLE BROCCOLI SLAW RECIPE (5 MINUTES OR LESS)

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. I like to do this in the bowl I plan to serve this in.
• Add the broccoli slaw mix and gently toss it all together. Be patient and give it a minute if the dressing doesn't look like enough (it is!)-the broccoli will start to release some water and it will all come together into a creamy slaw after a minute or so. Refrigerate until it's time to serve.
• This slaw is best the day you make it, but it keeps well in the refrigerator (covered), up to 3 days. Cabbage-based slaw keeps in the refrigerator for about two days.

BROCCOLI SLAW

Steps:

• Place the currants in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit until soft and plump, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, mix the vinegar, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified.
• Shred the broccoli florets and stems and red cabbage using the shredding disc of a food processor (see Cook's Note). Add to the bowl with the dressing and fold in the currants, almonds, onions, cilantro, parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with more cilantro and parsley leaves, if desired.

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.

WARM BROCCOLI SLAW WITH BACON

Steps:

• Toss together the broccoli slaw, cabbage, kale, parsley and raisins in a large bowl.
• Put the bacon in a large nonstick skillet; set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until well browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from the skillet and add the olive oil. Add the shallot and cook over medium heat until softened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the vinegar, mustard and honey and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
• Immediately pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss to coat. Add the bacon and toss; season with salt. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour to soften.
