PURPLE SLAW

I was looking for a new take on purple cabbage with all those purple heads waiting for me in the garden and then I found a cutting of a recipe. The first obvious thing was the simplicity of preparation and the minimal ingredient list. I took the photos, I have a myriad of photos of various things I made over the years, some I have to guess by now what they were haha, it is always a challenge for me to take photos of my meals; a fight with the light. I thought this would be one of those food experiments that I would never actually do a write up for. We had it last night with our meal, I checked on the leftovers this morning and decided this was definitely a worthwhile addition to my recipes. The dressing permeated the salad within an hour and after an overnight stay in the fridge it is still crunchy and enjoyable.

PURPLE SLAW
4 cups purple cabbage finely sliced.
2 large carrots grated
1 bunch flat leaf parsley roughly chopped
Dressing:
1 crushed garlic clove
freshly squeezed juice of 1/2 lemon
1-1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• Thinly slice the purple cabbage and grate the carrots and chops the flat leaf parsley.
• Place in a bowl and toss.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
