ingredients
Serves 4 as a side dish.
1/2 red cabbage finely shredded
2 medium sized organic apples grated
4 tbsp natural yoghurt
2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 lemon zest
1 tbsp finely chopped mint
1 tbsp raisins
1 tbsp flaked almonds
Salt and pepper
method
1. Place the cabbage and apple into a large mixing bowl, stirring in the natural yoghurt till everything is evenly coated.
2. Add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, lemon zest and mint. Once again stir until everything is combined.
3. Next, in a small frying pan, gently dry fry your raisins for a few minutes, this will help to draw out the flavour making them even tastier and it plumps them up too. Once toasted add them to the mixing bowl.
5. Then in the same pan finally toast your flaked almonds, just for a few minutes being careful not to let them burn, so keep an eye on them and continuously stir them so they don’t catch. Keep the almonds to one side until you are ready to serve.
4. Place the slaw in a lovely bowl, scatter with the almonds and some salt and pepper and you are ready to go.
