Directions: |
Directions:1. Place all dressing ingredients except oil in a small saucepan and reduce over high heat for 5-10 minutes until thick and syrupy. Remove from the heat. Once cooled down, strain sauce into a bowl and add the oil. Put aside for later.
2. Place the macadamias in a frying pan over medium heat and dry-roast for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly colored on all sides. Add the butter. When it has melted add the sugar, salt, and chile flakes. Use a wooden spoon to stir constantly to coat the nuts in the sugar as it caramelizes. Watch carefully as it will only take 1-2 minutes and the sugar can burn quickly. Turn out onto a sheet of parchment paper. Cool the nuts, then roughly chop them.
3. Place the shredded cabbages in a large mixing bowl with the rest of the salad ingredients, including nuts. Add the dressing and toss together. Taste and add more salt if you need to, then serve. |

Notes: Shadow and Angie recommended Yotam Ottolenghi's book Plenty to me, and it is chock full of beautiful vegetable-based recipes. This is one of my favorites. I've never liked cole slaw, but this bright, tart, and spicy slaw is something else entirely.
