Slaw With Mint Lime And Roasted Peanuts Food

LIME AND PEANUT COLE SLAW

Steps:

• In a skillet or oven (350°F.) roast the peanuts for 5 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice along the way, until golden and toasted.
• Cut the cabbage into two quarters and cut out the core. Using a knife, shred each quarter into whisper thin slices. The key here is bite-sized and thin. If any pieces look like they might be awkwardly long, cut those in half . Combine the cabbage, tomatoes, jalapeno,(if using), and cilantro in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil and salt. Add to the cabbage mixture and gently stir to combine. Just before serving, fold in the peanuts (add them too early and they'll lose some of their crunch). Taste and adjust the flavor with more salt if needed.

SLAW WITH MINT, LIME, AND ROASTED PEANUTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together first 7 ingredients, plus 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add remaining ingredients, except for peanuts, and toss. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Sprinkle with peanuts before serving.

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH PEANUTS AND TAHINI-LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Trim the broccoli stalks and peel them to remove the tough outer layer. Cut off the florets, leaving as much of the stalk as possible intact, and set the florets aside. Using the shredding or julienne blade of a food processor, a mandoline or a sharp knife, julienne the stems and place them in a large bowl.
• Finely chop or julienne the florets and add them to the bowl, along with the scallions and peanuts.
• In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, combine the tahini, lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic and hot sauce and whisk until smooth. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat. Set aside at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, tossing occasionally, to allow the broccoli to soften slightly.
• Just before serving, add the fresh herbs and toss well. (You can refrigerate for up to 8 hours before serving.)
