Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons whole anise seeds
2 cups julienned red cabbage
1 cup julienned carrots
1 cup julienned jicama
1 large jalapeno, thinly sliced crosswise
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 scant teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Heat a small, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add anise seeds and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove anise seeds from pan and let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, mix together cabbage, carrots, jicama, and jalapeno. Add lime juice, salt, sugar, cilantro, mint, and cooled anise seeds; toss to combine; let stand at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally, before serving. Slaw is best when made up to 3 days in advance and can be stored in an airtight container, refrigerated.
