ZOE'S FETA COLE SLAW



Zoe's Feta Cole Slaw image

This is a little different from most coleslaws because it is vinegar based and has feta cheese in it. I love the slaw at Zoe's so I tried to re-create it and think I came pretty close. Not sure of the exact measurements so I just estimated them on here. Great for as a side for a BBQ. The cook time includes refrigeration.

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small head of cabbage, thinly sliced
1 (6 ounce) package crumbled feta
6 -7 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar (I used a splash of white vinegar along with this)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
1 -2 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Combine shredded cabbage, feta and chopped green onions in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, and EVOO.
  • Pour over the slaw and toss.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve. It's best if you let it refrigerate for a few hours so you may want to make it the day before.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 green cardamom pods, or ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom (freshly ground is best)
1 small yellow onion, diced into ½ -inch pieces
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound fresh baby spinach (10 to 12 cups)
½ tablespoon fresh lime juice (from about a quarter of a lime), plus more if needed
1 small Indian green chile or serrano chile, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 ounces feta cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes (a little over ½ cup)
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
¼ teaspoon asafetida (optional, but really great)
¼ teaspoon red chile powder

Steps:

  • In a large pan over medium heat, warm ¼ cup of the ghee (or oil). Once the ghee has melted (or the oil begins to shimmer), add the coriander and cardamom and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until the seeds start to brown. Add the onion and cook until it is translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the spinach and cook until it is just wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the lime juice, green chile, and salt. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend into a chunky paste. Return the spinach mixture to the same pan and set it over low heat. Stir in ½ cup water, then gently fold in the feta, being careful not to break up the cubes. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes more to soften the feta slightly and allow it to soak up some of the spinach sauce.
  • While the feta cooks, in a small pan or butter warmer over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons ghee (or oil) for 1 minute. Add the cumin seeds. As soon as (emphasis on as soon as-you don't want your cumin to burn!) the cumin seeds start to sputter and brown, about 1 minute max, remove the pan from the heat. Immediately add the asafetida (if using) and red chile powder.
  • Pour all of the ghee (or oil) mixture into the spinach and feta once that is done cooking.
  • Serve with rice or roti.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your slaw a more vibrant color.
  • Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the cabbage. This will give you clean, even slices.
  • Add other vegetables to your slaw. Some popular additions include carrots, celery, and onions. You can also add fruits, such as apples or pineapple.
  • Choose a dressing that you like. There are many different types of dressings that you can use for coleslaw, so choose one that you think will complement the other ingredients.
  • Let the slaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will enjoy.
