Recipe

Slaw

1. To brine the cabbage, shred the cabbages, place in a large colander and cover with salt. Mix and leave over the sink for 2-3 hours.
2. Transfer drained cabbage to a large pot or bowl and cover with 8 cups cold water and 1/4 cup vinegar and chill for 1 hour. Run under water for 20 minutes to remove all excess salt, then drain and spin in a salad spinner or layer on paper towels to dry. Jason says this step has, in essence, turned the cabbage into a flavour sponge, as it has now lost most of its water and is ready to absorb the dressing, which should also prevent dressing from pooling at the bottom of the bowl. If you don’t care to brine your cabbage, feel free to skip that step (but only use green cabbage; the red one will bleed and turn blue), then simply add the carrot and dress the slaw with the following dressing.
