Had some leftover 'Wood Roasted Potatoes' from Manuka restaurant yesterday, so decided to make a sort of 'potato salad' with them, since it's quite warm today.
Braise some red cabbage:
Toast a sprinkle of caraway seeds, then add some olive oil, and toss in a bit of diced red onion, a couple of cloves of garlic finely diced, and ± 1 cm slices of red cabbage, coarsely diced, and 1/2 of a chilli, finely diced.. Stir fry for a minute or two, then add in a braising liquid.
I used a bit of Maggi, a splash of soy, leftover pickle/caper/ jalapeño liquid, with a bit of V8 juice and water, to make about a cup of liquid.
Oh, and the most important part: 1/3 of a cup of Aquavit, the Danish caraway alcohol. It's really better than vodka, because of its flavour! (But vodka would do nicely too, I suppose!)
Simmer until the liquid has gone, and you've got a nice thick mixture.
Set aside and let cool a bit.
I boiled some yellow split peas, because I thought they'd add a bit of protein, and would contrast nicely with the deep red of the cabbage.
Put the leftover potatoes in a salad bowl, add the cabbage and peas, and toss well.
Serve slightly warm or cool, as you like.
The cabbage mixture is quite flavourful, so you don't need any more salad dressing, unless you'd like some.
