CABBAGE-TURNIP COLE SLAW WITH JALAPENO DRESSING



Cabbage-Turnip Cole Slaw With Jalapeno Dressing image

So I was browsing around and found some recipe for TURNIP COLE SLAW! Couldn't believe it... REALLY? TURNIP cole slaw? Let just say I wasn't really convinced. until one day I found myself with a head of green cabbage and two large purple top turnips that I didn't know what to do with since Boyfriend doesn't like them. I remembered the Turnip Cole Slaw. Now, I don't like cole slaw, and Boyfriend doesn't like turnips. I just happen to love turnips, and he loves cole slaw. So I threw this together, and he actually asked for more! I told him there were turnips in it and he said "Really?! its GOOD!" I served with oven fried chicken and biscuits, but I think it would be great on/or accompanying a BBQ pulled pork sandwich!

KOHLRABI-AND-TURNIP SLAW



Kohlrabi-and-Turnip Slaw image

These two cabbage cousins offer an interesting twist on the traditional coleslaw. Kohlrabi makes a great addition to stir-fries, while turnips, when pureed with a little butter, serve as an excellent side dish. For the greens, saute them as you would kale or spinach.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound kohlrabi (about 2 small heads, leaves included)
1 medium turnip (about 8 ounces), peeled and quartered
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Separate stems from kohlrabi bulb, trim, and discard tough bottoms of stems. Half leaves lengthwise then thinly shred crosswise. Trim root end from bulb and peel away tough outer layer; halve lengthwise.
  • Fit a food processor with a shredding blade (or use a box grater) and shred kohlrabi bulb and turnip.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, peanut oil, honey, and sesame oil; season with salt and pepper. Add scallions, kohlrabi leaves and bulb, and turnip to bowl; toss to coat. Let stand at least 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for small, tender turnips with smooth skin. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the turnips properly: Peel the turnips and cut them into matchsticks or thin slices. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the turnips, as this can make them mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to turnips, you can add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, cabbage, broccoli, or cauliflower. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes a coleslaw special. You can use a simple vinaigrette, a creamy dressing, or even a tangy dressing made with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
  • Let the coleslaw rest: After you have made the coleslaw, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Turnip coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it creamy, tangy, or somewhere in between, there is a turnip coleslaw recipe out there for you.
