COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD | THE COLONY NEWS | JANUARY 2022 | 23 By Joyce Hansen What's Cookin'? Instructions: 1. Shred half of the cabbage finely and the other half coarsely. Do not grate. Place in a large, lidded container. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar and honey until the honey is completely dissolved. Add the spices and whisk until combined. 3. Toss the dressing with the cabbage to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 48 hours. The cabbage will change from purple and white to a deep magenta as the flavors combine. Note: The finished cabbage actually tastes better when it's shredded in long strips rather than grated like standard coleslaw. There's something about allowing enough surface for the dressing to absorb and do its work. This recipe is based on a very old family favorite which combines sweet, sour and spice. It's good after 48 hours, but even better after 3 or 4 days of "pickling." This is a perfect make-ahead salad for get-togethers. Instructions: 1. Combine rice, water and milk in a saucepan. Stir well, cover and cook over medium heat until water is absorbed and rice is tender – about 20 minutes. 2. While rice is cooking, toast almonds in olive oil, stirring 2-3 minutes. When lightly brown, set aside. 3. Spoon rice into serving bowl and add almonds and remaining ingredients. Serve warm. Serves four.
