Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Dressing:
6 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1 lemongrass stalk -- chopped into small pieces
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon chile flakes
4 tablespoons light olive oil -- or sunflower oil
Salad:
1 1/4 cups macadamia nuts
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chile flakes
6 ounces Savoy cabbage leaves -- (7 leaves) shredded
10 ounces red cabbage -- (1/2 head) finely shredded
1 mango -- cut in strips
1 papaya -- cut into strips
1 fresh red chile -- seeded and finely sliced
1/4 cup mint -- leaves picked and roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups cilantro -- leaves picked and roughly chopped

To make the dressing: Place all the ingredients, except the oil, in a small saucepan and reduce over high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thick and syrupy. Remove from the heat. Once cooled down, strain the sauce into a bowl and add the oil. Put aside for later.

Place the macadamia nuts in a frying pan over medium heat and dry-roasting for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly colored on all sides. Add the butter. When it has melted add the sugar, salt, and chile flakes. Use a wooden spoon to stir constantly to coat the nuts in the sugar as it caramelizes. Watch carefully as it will only take 1 to 2 minutes and the sugar can burn quickly. Turn out onto a sheet of parchment paper. Cool the nuts, then roughly chop them.

Place the shredded cabbages in a large mixing bowl with the rest of the salad ingredients, including the nuts. Add the dressing and toss together. Taste and add more salt, if you need to, then serve.

Serves 6

AuthorNote: This salad will bring color to your winter dinner table and liven up any meal. You can leave out the caramelized macadamias, if you like, or use roasted peanuts instead. Consider serving the slaw with Chard Cakes or roast [2Favorite].
