INGREDIENTS
1 pound (1/2 kilo) of purple cabbage, finely chopped (and/or radicchio)
5-6 red habanero (or 10-12 red jalapeņo) peppers, not seeded and minced
1 large purple onion, finely chopped
6-7 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
6 round red radishes, grated
2 Tablespoons of minced cilantro
1/2 cup of lime juice (about 6-8 limes)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of paprika
PREPARATION
Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. It is better to mix
the vegetables together first before adding the lime juice and seasonings.
Stir thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. Place this
hot cabbage slaw in a quart (liter) jar, pack it down, cover and store in
the refrigerator, preferably for several days before serving.
Occasionally, open the jar and stir to remix the flavors, before packing it
down again. Serve as a side-dish relish with other foods, or add it to
sandwiches for extra flavor.
Note : If you do not like your foods this hot (and this one is hot!), you
can always decrease the amount of peppers that you include. If you are
daring enough to use this number of habaneros, be careful how you handle
them and wash your hands thoroughly after you do so. Or you'll be sorry!
:-D The habanero or "Scotch bonnet" pepper originated in the Caribbean.
This is an authentic recipe.
