15 - 20 minsIngredients
2 corn cobs, husks removed | |
3 cups shredded cabbage (I used 2 cups red cabbage plus 1 cup green cabbage) | |
1 carrot, finely shredded or grated | |
½ red onion, finely sliced | |
¼ cup toasted unsalted cashew nuts, roughly chopped | |
a big handful coriander leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped | |
2 tablespoons finely shredded mint leaves | |
FOR THE LIME-LEAF DRESSING | |
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped | |
3 makrut (kaffir) lime leaves, stems removed, finely shredded | |
4 tablespoons lime juice | |
3 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free if needed) | |
1 tablespoon rice vinegar | |
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or raw sugar | |
½-1 long red chilli, finely chopped (de-seed for less heat if you prefer) |
I wanted to channel the flavours of a recent trip to Bali in this slaw, where barbecued corn, cabbage, herbs and toasted cashew nuts meet a punchy lime-leaf dressing.
Instructions
1. | Preheat the barbecue to medium hot. |
2. | Cook the corn, turning often, until charred and tender (approx. 15-20 minutes). |
3. | Remove and cool to room temperature. |
4. | Using a sharp knife, slice the corn off the cobs and then combine in a bowl with the shredded cabbage, carrot, red onion, cashew nuts, coriander and mint. |
5. | Combine all the salad dressing ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine (if using raw sugar, stir until it has mostly dissolved). |
6. | Pour the dressing over the salad, toss well and serve. |
