Killah Slaw

So I got this giant head of cabbage at the farmers market (a week and a half ago) and it is time to make the damn thing start disappearing.

I really actually am not a big fan of the mayo based slaws. Really don't like em.

So I decided to go with an "asian" flavor. Japanese maybe to be specific.

Ingredients:
2 pounds of shredded Cabbage (yes I weighed it for yall)
2 large carrots grated
1/2 med white onion sliced up thin

Sauce:
1/4 cup of equal parts seasoned organic rice vinegar and apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of annies horseradish mustard
1 tablespoon of 365 yellow mustard
1 tablespoon of plain whole milk yogurt (my concession to the mayo-ish white stuff)
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon of microplaned ginger
mixed that all up.
then drizzled in a couple table spoons of Toasted sesame oil
and then about 2-3 times as much Extra virgin olive oil
oh and a splash of Shoyu (maybe a teaspoon).

Mixed that sauce well - and poured it over the other stuff in a big glass bowl. Toss completely, let stand.

And try to keep your kids out of the bowl so they are still hungry when dinner rolls around.

Oh and it will be served along side some sweet potato oven fries (yeah - i'm cheating and buying something pre-packaged, but it is almost the only exception around here other than canned beans, i find that the canned beans are just way easier and better tasting - and despite the higher price point over the dried beans they are still pretty inexpensive) and some hamburgers made from the 90% lean whole foods ground beef that was on sale on sunday...

It is the easy night. Waiting for the final member of the crew to get home so I'm stealing a few minutes to post this recipe up. Mostly so I remember it, because it is DAMN good.

Best thing is. There is actually a good bit of excess dressing on the slaw. So I'll let it drain a serve from the top. When we're done with the meal tonight I'll chop up some more of the cabbage that I have left (it was a 5 pound head of cabbage for $3) and add it to the bowl and keep it going for the week. Adding it to lunches and the other meals.

eat well and heddwch

so i finished writing this up and went in and the bowl was 1/2 empty. Between the settling of the cabbage and the munch-kins eating it, well, i added another 1/2 pound of shredded cabbage to the mix. And it was good.
