When all the flavors meld, the dried mint blooms and transforms this dish into a refreshing slaw that pairs well with fatty cuts of meat.
Recipe information
Yield
8 servings
Ingredients
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup dried mint
1 medium head of cabbage (about 1 1/2 lb.), halved, very thinly sliced
2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more
Preparation
Step 1
Combine lemon juice and mint in a large bowl. Add cabbage and 2 tsp. salt.
Step 2
Toss cabbage with your hands for a few minutes, squeezing to help soften (the lemon juice and salt will continue to tenderize it as it sits). Add 1/4 cup oil and toss again to coat. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
Step 3
To serve, taste and season with more salt and drizzle with oil.
