The leafy portion of a Napa is thinly sliced for the body of this Thai- inspired dish. Garlic toasted almonds add texture and balance the spice of the ginger dressing. This would be easily converted into an entrée with the addition of poached tilapia or a soft boiled egg.
Dressing 1.5 cup chopped carrots 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup coconut oil 4 tablespoons palm sugar 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 1 teaspoon sriracha Salad 4-5 cups thinly sliced raw Napa Cabbage 1 cup finely shredded carrot Almonds 1 cup chopped almonds 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until you've made a smooth puree. To make the almonds, heat a pan over medium heat. Add all ingredients and toss to incorporate. Stir until toasted and fragrant, 2-6 minutes. Set aside and let cool. To assemble the salad, toss the Napa Cabbage and carrots with enough dressing to coat, then top with a handful of almonds.

This pate is delightfully reminiscent of a Church hosted "Friday Fish Fry" coleslaw. If you grew up in the Midwest, (where people are as friendly and loveable as Golden Retrievers), you will know the event I'm describing. The bright and crisp ingredients are enhanced by a tangy vinaigrette instead of masked in mayonnaise. This dish gets spice from the raw garlic...the health benefits of which are enormous; it is known to boost ones immune system and to contain antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. V told me that in Lithuania, he used to enjoy raw garlic slices with buttered homemade bread to thwart an impending illness.
Pate 4 carrots not peeled 4 stalks celery 1 cup cabbage 3 cloves garlic 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 2-3 tablespoons raw honey 1/4 cup parsley 1/4 cup of vinegar (red wine, rice, or white wine) Combine all ingredients in a DECENT blender. Stop blender, and scrape sides as needed. If you have a s**tty blender (as I did growing up), just keep trying until the motor burns out, because this pate is amazing, and you deserve a new blender. Not to mention the fact that you're making something Vegan. You're awesome! Way to tend to the body! I admire your decision. |
