...not literally, but figuratively. From the Chevy's Mexican Restaurant franchise's Fresh Mex Cookbook. Serve this as a side dish, topping for tacos, in a BBQ sandwich, etc . Ingredients:
3 cups shredded white cabbage (can also use savoy) |
3 cups shredded red cabbage |
1/2 cup shredded carrot |
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, chopped |
1 ounce dried chipotle chile, stems removed |
1 ounce ancho chili, stems removed (mulatto or chimayo chili can be substituted) |
1/2 teaspoon achiote paste (or powder) |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon white onion, diced |
1/3 cup tomato paste |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 tablespoon mexican unrefined unbleached cane sugar, grated (known as piloncillo) |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 cup olive oil |
Directions:
1. NOTE: the original Sweet Chipotle Dressing is posted here on Recipezaar: Sweet Chipotle Dressing. I manipulated the recipe a bit and posted my own version.
2. Soak the dried chili peppers until softened. Combine the chilis with the remaining dressing ingredients and blend well.
3. In large, non-reactive bowl combine both cabbage varieties and the 3/4 cup of the prepared chipotle dressing. Toss well. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
4. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Keep chilled until served.
