Coleslaw with Sardines & Red Cabbage

This dazzling winter coleslaw with sardines and red cabbage is especially good for the cold season.

Ingredients (4 servings)
1 head red cabbage
1 can Portuguese tinned sardines in spicy olive oil
300 g lamb's lettuce
100 g nuts (eg hazelnuts, chopped walnuts)
25 g sugar
20 ml water

For the red cabbage marinade:

Ingredients (4 servings)
50 ml orange juice
100 ml vinegar
5 tablespoon(s) apple sauce

For the dressing:

Ingredients (4 servings)
100 ml oil
20 ml vinegar
1 tablespoon(s) mustard
1 tablespoon(s) mayonnaise
1 tablespoon(s) tahini
salt
pepper
sugar
  • Finely chop the red cabbage and marinate in orange juice, vinegar and apple sauce for 24 hours.
  • Blend the vinegar, mustard and mayonnaise with a hand blender, then add the oil and tahini until you have a thick dressing. Season the dressing with salt, pepper and sugar.
  • For the caramelised nuts, put the sugar, water and nuts in a saucepan and let them caramelise, stirring constantly until the sugar crystalises and coats the nuts.
  • Place the nuts on baking paper to cool ensuring they are separate and do not stick together.
  • Mix the lamb's lettuce, marinated red cabbage and dressing together and serve. Sprinkle with the caramelised nuts and arrange a sardine on top.
