Hot Hot Hot… Slaw – Episode 56
Written by Rachel, Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, This Week's Feast, Thoughts
Sometimes it’s easiest to come up with a main dish. But, what about a side or two?! It takes practice, effort, and sometimes help from a book like The Flavor Bible to pair foods well.
Yes, I think it would be totally acceptable to have a Roasted Chicken with nothing more than a baguette and some good olive oil for drizzling (with some salt, pepper, and a drizzle of Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar). But, also fun would be that same chicken with some Roasted Brussels Sprouts with a Cider Vinegar Glaze, a beautiful pot of Braised Beans, or perhaps some crunchy Roasted Green Beans with Bacon, Almonds, and Lemon.
About a month ago I posted the recipes for Crispy Dijon Chicken Thighs and Hot Napa Slaw that I’d made for dinner. It was a made up on the spot, I really hope this works, kinda dinner. And it did.
Since we’ve gotten a lot of napa cabbage, from Abundant Harvest Organics, over the last little while, I thought it might be nice to share another way to prepare it. It’s quick, and so simple. We really enjoyed it. And, after filming, I had a really hard time not eating the whole dish. I hope you enjoy it too!

You inspired me again! Watched the video for this week feast and you gave me a great idea… I had canned greens a few days ago… I used the ingredients you used with the cabbage and it came out delicious! I have a picture but wasn’t sure how to add it. I’ll send it to your email.
Thank you again!
I love this!! Thanks for sharing, Krisili!!
