Mediterranean Style Cabbage Salad (Best Tasting Recipe)



    Here's what I call, one of the "best kept secrets," of the culinary world. It's a tasty, tangy, crunchy, zesty salad, that's so deliciously simple to make, you'll be kicking yourself in the face, for never actually thinking about it, in the first place!

  Let's get started!  First you'll need:
                                               1 head of cabbage, rinsed, dried, and shredded.
                                               2 cloves of garlic (minced)
                                               1 lemon (juiced)
                                               2 tspn dried mint
                                               8 Fresh Mint Leaves
                                               1/2 tspn Sumac
                                               1/2 tspn Allepo Pepper
                                                    **salt to taste
                                                Drizzle of Olive Oil
                                                Watch the video below:

      To make this, it is very easy! After you shredded the cabbage, add the lemon juice, then, you add the garlic, fresh mint, and, dried mint, sumac etc., give it a quick toss, and lastly, drizzle the olive oil. You can use vegetable oil, but in keeping with the themed Mediterranean way, of life, you'll want to go with the olive oil here.

      This salad, was a staple in my culture. We would have it alongside grilled meats, or just as a side salad. The best way to enjoy this, is to prepare your favorite dish, preferably Armenian barbecue, and have this alongside, some rice pilaf, and hamos, or mutabel. The possibilities are endless. You can add this to fish dishes, and serve with extra lemon to cut the fish taste.

      The easiest way however, is to make this make, and set it into the fridge, overnight. Do you have any idea what this will do? Oh wow! You'll get a ton of flavor out of it! No joke! Feel free and, give this a try, then, let me know how it went. Bon Appetit! Enjoy!

        If you've ever been to a Middle-Eastern, or Mediterranean Restaurant, you might have seen this dish as part of a wide variety of mezze, or appetizer platters on the table. Cig Kofte or, Chikufta, is a raw meatball dish in Armenian, and Middle-Eastern cuisine, very similar to Kibbeh Nayeh, and to a lesser extent to Steak Tartare. It is traditionally made with either beef or lamb, a vegetarian variety may also be served. Ciğ Köfte may be served as an appetizer, or mezze. In the beef variant, ground beef is used. Tendons and fat are removed before grinding the beef. Relatively expensive high-quality beef has to be used so that the meat can be safely served raw. London Broil, or Top Round, are are recommended choices for the ground beef. Since lamb is considered a "clean meat", it is often used for Ciğ Köfte instead of beef. Armenians  use Ciğ Köfte as a mezze, served almost cold. The raw meat ball, or Kofte, is not kept overnight and is reserved for special occ
