Cabbage and radish slaw from The Homesick Texan Cookbook (page 255) by Lisa Fain

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Pg. 255. We liked this, but didn't love it. I served it over a bed of watercress. It was a nice, light, refreshing dish, but the flavors were not as vibrant as I would have liked. I did not use the cumin seeds, otherwise followed the recipe as written. For the buttermilk dressing I used creme fraiche in place of the sour cream because I had it on hand. The slaw was a bit watery, so I think you could easily cut back on the amount of dressing.

    Cabbage and Radish Slaw – p. 255 I love the idea of having slaw in a taco so I made this dish with the idea of serving the slaw along w the shredded Pasilla Tomatillo short ribs (p. 195). To make this recipe, you’ll need to prepare the Jalapeno Buttermilk Dressing p. 49. FYI, I cheated and used a bag of pre-shredded cabbage. If you’re shredding your own, JF suggests you toss w some salt and let sit for an hour prior to draining and carrying on as set out above. This was good, not great. It was nice atop other ingredients in a taco but I don’t think I’d be yearning to eat a bowl on its own. When we re-serve, I’ll toss in some lime juice and see if that brings the slaw to life. I’d definitely omit the cumin seeds as I found them to be out of place and even odd tasting relative to the remaining ingredients. When I do use cumin seeds, I tend to toast them in a dry pan to bring out the oils and flavour. Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/851922#7379886
