Recipe #30 Samosas with Red Cabbage Salad

Shopping list


  • 1/4 of a red cabbage
  • 1 big carrot (or 2 small ones)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 Lime
  • Soy sauce
  • Olive Oil
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Sea Salt
  • Pepper
  • Parsley
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 7 cardamom seeds



Method

For the salad:
Use a food processor with the grater blade. Throw in the cabbage, carrot, onion. Put the mixture into a bowl and season with salt, pepper, the juice of one lime, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Add parsley (dry or fresh, which is even better).

For the rice:
Add a tablespoon of olive oil into a saucepan together with 6-7 cardamoon seeds. Turn on the heat and let them fry a bit. Add the cup of rice and let the dry rice fry a bit. Then add 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. When all the water is absorbed/evaporated you better turn off the heat and cover the pan. 'Fish' the cardamom seeds out before serving the rice.

Samosas:
Ok... I cheated, I bought them at evergreen (http://www.evergreen.ie/) in the fresh section. You just throw them into a pan for some minutes and let them get golden.

This is how it looks like. Enjoy :)
