Southwestern Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage, carrot, onion, red pepper, jalapeno and cilantro. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, sugar, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Pour over vegetable mixture and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Steps:

• For the burgers: Cook the corn according to the package directions; set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and shallot and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper is tender, about 4 minutes. Add the corn, chipotle, coriander, cumin and garlic and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a large bowl to cool, about 15 minutes.
• Put the beans in a food processor with the egg and 1/4 cup of the cooled vegetables and pulse until the mixture is creamy but still a little chunky. Add the bean mixture to the remaining cooled vegetables along with the Cheddar, 3 tablespoons of the cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine.
• Shape the bean mixture into 4 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons cornmeal on a plate. Coat the patties in the cornmeal, put on a platter and chill until cooled through and firmer, about 20 minutes.
• For the slaw: Stir together the cilantro, mayonnaise, lime juice, serrano if using and salt to taste in a medium bowl. Add the coleslaw mix and toss; chill until ready to serve.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the second side and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
• To serve, put 2 or 3 slices of avocado on each serving plate. Add a burger and top with a spoonful of slaw.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients, tossing to mix.
• Let the mixture marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours before serving. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the habanero butter: Combine the butter, garlic, habanero, shallot and capers in a small saucepan over medium heat; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the shallot is translucent, about 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine; add the lime zest and juice and cook until the wine has reduced and the pan is almost dry, about 4 minutes. Divide the butter between 2 small bowls; set aside.
• Make the garlic butter: Combine the butter and garlic in a separate small saucepan over medium heat; cook until the garlic is soft and fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the parsley and mix well. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Make the cilantro-lime slaw: Combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, cilantro and lime zest and juice in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Add the cabbage and mix well to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the lobster rolls: Preheat a grill to medium high; oil the grates. Brush the lobster meat with half of the habanero butter. Place shell-side down on the grill. Cook 3 minutes, then flip the lobsters and cook until the tails are curled and the meat is opaque, 4 to 6 more minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly. Remove the meat from the shells and roughly chop; toss with the remaining habanero butter.
• Brush the hot dog buns with the garlic butter. Grill until golden and crisp, about 30 seconds. Fill the rolls with avocado, tomato, the lobster and slaw.
