SRC: Spicy Slaw

By
The Secret Recipe Club's Group A needed a little bit of help this reveal, so I stepped up to cook from BCMom's Kitchen, a blog written by Anna. Before I left Group A, Anna actually had my blog and blogged about my rhubarb focaccia. She enjoyed it! Now it's my chance to return the favor and shine the spotlight on her blog and recipes. What fun.

Anna laments that in this age of fast food and busy schedules, home-cooked meals seem almost a thing of the past. So she aims to find and share recipes that are not only good, but EASY! Many of her recipes here can be prepared ahead of time and almost all use ingredients you probably have on hand. I have bookmarked to make her Coconut Lemon Bars, Spicy Avocado Chicken, and Oriental Closelaw

But for today I decided to adapt her Spicy Slaw she posted that was originally made by her friend Ricki. I simplified, added more herbs, and took out a few of the "hot" ingredients as my boys' palates still border on preferring mild to medium versus spicy.


Ingredients

  • 2 C thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 1/2 C chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 T fresh chopped oregano
  • 1 t fresh chopped tarragon
  • 1 t minced fresh garlic
  • 1 large tomato, finely chopped
  • 1/2 C sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 C caper berry juice
  • 3 T caper berries, chopped
  • 1 T capers
  • 1/4 C mayonnaise
  • 1 t vinegar
  • pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Directions
 Mix all ingredients in large mixing bowl. After mixing, let it sit for 30 minutes or so (if you can!) to let the flavors blend.  Then mix, again, before eating.

    I was going to say that, even though the word spicy is in the title of the recipe, this isn't really spicy, but I'm not really the one to ask. I like spicy! Anyway, hope you liked it - and now I really need to make some!

    I love slaw and I'm not sure what caper berries are versus capers?

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
