Pomegranates are at their best right now and also readily available at a reasonable price – so there’s no reason not to incorporate them in your meals to give them a new fresh feel and a dazzling burst of red. That’s why this Pomegranate Slaw […]
A friend of mine give me the recipe for a similar Red Cabbage Slaw but as usual I lost it! So I have made my own version from memory and taste.
The most important thing to remember about this slaw is not to grate the veggies too fine, else you end up with a mush. I use the square shaped bade on my food processor so the pieces are even but not too thin but you could always finely slice. Using a food processor you can make this whole dish in about 5mins which given that it will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days makes it great for start of the week meal prep.
This slaw goes with everything and goes on for days so is a brilliant quick packed lunch or to have in the fridge for a fast dinner. It’s also a perfect winter salad using veggies which are still cheap and at their best when any lettuce will have been flown around the world to get to your plate looking less than fresh. It’s also hearty enough to pack a punch and fill you up. It’s also brilliant with a BBQ and can stand being out of the fridge at a party without going limp.
The secret, I think, of this salad is boiling the raisins in the vinegar. It means every mouthful is infused with a sweet and sour tang.
This quantity is enough for about 8 people as a side dish and works out to approximately £1.20.
