serves 2-4
Crunchy Herbaceous Cabbage Salad w/ tinned fish (serves 2)
1/2 head of cabbage thinly sliced
1 Tbsp Cumin seeds ground
1 Tbsp Coriander seeds ground

1 Tbsp dried Oregano
2 tsp salt
1 Serrano pepper diced
1 avocado cubed
1-2 Tbsp Feta cheese
1 -2 Persian cucumbers sliced into quarters
1-2 thinly sliced radishes
a few pickled shallots or onion (just rinse the sliced onion or shallot in water and then soak in red wine vinegar, salt, and sherry vinegar for like 10 minutes. slice enough to have leftovers and then you have them on hand.)
a hand full of cilantro
a hand full of dill
a good tin of fish (I used Tuna belly here, but whatever suits your fancy)
a few pinches of nigella seeds (if you don't have nigella feel free to use black sesame)
extra torn till and cilantro for garnish
sea salt
For the Dressing:
1/3 cup of Lorenza piquepoul
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp good Olive Oil
whisk together in a large mixing bowl
Make your dressing first.
Grind the coriander, cumin, and fennel in a mortal and pestle.
Add shredded cabbage, cucumber, and radishes to the bowl wth your dressing but don't mix yet.
Sprinkle one tsp of salt over the cabbage, cukes, and radish.
Add ground spices, herbs, serranos and toss.
Add avocado and feta and gentle toss one more time - (we do a couple tosses b/c you don't want the Feta and the Avocado to get too banged up here)
Plate the salad and top with the tinned fish of your choice.
Garnish with pickled shallots, remaining cilanto and dill then finish with sprinkling of nigella seeds or black sesame. If you like a little more heat add some more serranos as well.
