The way to Put together Broccoli for Slaw
Consider this broccoli slaw as a mixup between broccoli salad and coleslaw. Serve this straightforward slaw on the facet or add it to sandwiches or burgers for some additional crunch. Use the packaged shredded broccoli present in most grocery shops or put together the broccoli your self. I’ve shared how under.
I really like swapping in broccoli for cabbage in coleslaw. Conventional cabbage coleslaw is scrumptious, however broccoli is additional crisp and I really like how fairly it seems to be within the bowl. Right here’s how I like to organize broccoli for this recipe:
- Purchase broccoli with the stems. Some shops solely promote broccoli crowns, however if you’re fortunate, you’ll find broccoli with the lengthy stems nonetheless connected. I really favor broccoli stems to the florets!
- Reduce the crown away from the stems and slice or tear into very small florets.
- Peel the robust outer layer of the broccoli stems. I exploit a vegetable peeler.
- Slice the stems into skinny matchsticks or grate them utilizing a hand grater or the grating attachment of a meals processor. (Within the images, I did this by hand.)
If you’re brief on time, you would possibly have the ability to discover prepackaged luggage of sliced broccoli on the retailer. The bag may need another veggies combined in, however that’s okay, it can nonetheless work on this recipe.
Extra about broccoli stems: The tip of the stem — let’s say about half-an-inch from the underside of the stalk might be going to be too hardy and woody. Reduce that off and discard. The remainder of the stem is usable and scrumptious. Relying on how hardy the stem is, it may be a good suggestion to run a vegetable peeler up and down the stem to take away the outer (generally robust) layer. Then, slice into small matchsticks.
Making the Slaw
We maintain our coleslaw easy with a brief record of elements. The dressing is definitely the identical as what we use when making cabbage coleslaw (I find it irresistible that a lot).
The bottom is mayonnaise, which could be store-bought or selfmade (see our selfmade mayonnaise right here). I’ve additionally swapped the mayo for a vegan mayonnaise and was very comfortable.
To the dressing, we add loads of broccoli, inexperienced onions (scallions), herbs, crunch from sunflower seeds, and somewhat sweetness from dried fruit. Within the images, I’ve used golden raisins, however any dried fruit will work.
Make Forward Ideas
Identical to different coleslaws, this broccoli slaw is ideal for making forward of time. Make it, after which retailer in an hermetic container within the fridge as much as 3 days (possibly extra).
