Nothing says, “I love you,” quite like cruciferous vegetables. Stay with me. Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower) contain more anti-cancer phytochemicals than any other type of veggie.
So this Valentine’s day, don’t just shred on the slopes. Shred the Love in the kitchen, too with this Stupid Easy recipe for a warm slaw topped with burrata. Cruciferous veggies show that you care – and also that you love somebody so much that you can overlook a little farting now and then. It’s so romantic.
OK, let’s do this:
Stupid Easy Warm Slaw with Burrata Cheese
Makes 4 servings
Total time 15 minutes
2 red radishes, rinsed and stems removed
2 T olive oil, divided
½ red onion, sliced
¼ head of purple cabbage, shredded
12-ish Brussels sprouts, shredded
2 balls of burrata cheese
2T balsamic vinegar
chives, chopped for garnish
Cut the radishes into hearts the way I showed you last week
To shred the cabbage and Brussels sprouts use a food processor with a shredding attachment if you have one. Otherwise use the wide slice side of a box cheese grater, being careful not to shred off all your knuckle skin.
Keep the sprouts and the cabbage separate. Cooking them separately will prevent the purple cabbage from turning everything else purple. The only reason for doing it this way is cosmetic. If you’re in a rush, it’s fine to cook them together.
Heat 1 T oil in a pan over med/high heat. Add the onions and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and sauté until soft (about 4 minutes), stirring frequently. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Using the same pan, heat the remaining 1 T oil and sauté the sprouts until soft (about 4 minutes), stirring frequently.
Combine the sprouts and cabbage and place a heap in the center of a plate. Top with half a ball of burrata. Add salt to taste. Add the radish hearts, drizzle with the balsamic reduction and sprinkle with chopped chives. Love on a plate! Serve with toasted bread.
