Andreas Trauttmansdorff

Ingredients

  • 1/2 red or green cabbage, thinly sliced

  • 1 carrot, coarsely grated

  • 1/2 red bell pepper

  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup frozen corn niblets, optional

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

  • 2 tsp granulated sugar

  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Prepare vegetables. Place cabbage, carrot, red pepper, jalapeño, corn and coriander in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk lime juice with sugar, cumin and salt. Slowly whisk in oil until evenly mixed. Drizzle over vegetables and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Slaw will keep well up to 5 days. Flavour improves as it sits. Great with tacos or fajitas.
