Here’s the recipe:</p> <p>FIRST WAVE: Combine in a huge bowl:<br/> -half a red cabbage, mandolined into little 5”x1/2” strips, then rinsed in a strainer<br/> -1/4-1/2 red onion, ditto<br/> -3-8 radishes, sliced thin like only a mandoline can</p> <p>MARINADE/DRESSING: Whisk together in a small bowl, then dump on the firstwave bowl:<br/> -3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil<br/> -2 tbsps white balsamic vinegar<br/> -1/2cup apple cider vinegar<br/> -1-2 tbsp diced fresh dill<br/> -5-15 diced fresh chives<br/> -1 minced green onion<br/> -salt and pepper to taste<br/> -1 tbsp caraway seeds, 1 tsp celery seed, 1 tsp fennel seed, and [optional] 1/4 tsp cumin seeds, coarsely ground together in a mortar and pestle</p> <p>SOAK first wave in marinade at least half an hour (ideally, two hours) at room temp before adding second and third waves.</p> <p>SECOND WAVE:<br/> -1 granny smith apple, pitted and mandolined very thin<br/> -1 orange or yellow pepper, seeded and mandolined into 1/2” strips<br/> -1 green onion cut quartered lengthwise and cut into 3” strips, broken apart<br/> -1 cup minced parsley<br/> -[optional] 1/2 cup radish sprouts</p> <p>THIRD WAVE: Soak together in a cup of water, then strain and add at the last minute before serving:<br/> -2 tbsp juniper berries soaked in boiling water for 10 min<br/> -2 tbsp sultana raisins, 1 tbsp dried blackcurrants, 1 tbsp capers, thrown into the same water once lukewarm<br/> -[optional] roasted, unsalted pumpkin seeds</p> <p>STIR.</p> <p>Served (in the photo) with:<br/> -Schaller & Weber brand Kassel-style Liver P^at’e (Astoria, NY)<br/> -Ski Queen Gjetost (Oslo, Norway) - a delicious caramely cheese I first tried eating with Danish family on our ancestral plot of land in Jylland, Denmark<br/> -dill-chive herb butter<br/> -New York-style carraway rye (Metropolis Baking Co., Berkeley)<br/> -Walnut Levain (Acme, Berkeley)</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/636046264http://throwawayblog.com/post/636046264Wed, 26 May 2010 21:26:00 -0400<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0e4obqJ0v1qz9iteo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://throwawayblog.com/post/497548237http://throwawayblog.com/post/497548237Mon, 05 Apr 2010 02:28:59 -0400memy lovelies<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0d5tec0DK1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>all available LIVE. boston chinatown.</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/496122407http://throwawayblog.com/post/496122407Sun, 04 Apr 2010 13:56:02 -0400ethnicalbostonfoodcute animalsunwittingdictionary abuse<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0cfwlIUjR1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>sol lewitt, serial project I (ABCD), 1966, NYMOMA</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/495296679http://throwawayblog.com/post/495296679Sun, 04 Apr 2010 04:36:21 -0400artnyc<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0cfbaUgFh1qz9iteo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>look at that hot, spicy, tingly lambface!</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/495280990http://throwawayblog.com/post/495280990Sun, 04 Apr 2010 04:23:34 -0400nycmy loveliesfood!<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0cf995C2T1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>ukiyo-e style ballpoint drawing, presumably by an employee, on the bathroom mirror at supercore, billysburg, nyc</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/495279477http://throwawayblog.com/post/495279477Sun, 04 Apr 2010 04:22:21 -0400meartgraffitinyc<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l00uolIGCf1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>world’s biggest ice cream sandwich</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/480623716http://throwawayblog.com/post/480623716Sun, 28 Mar 2010 22:24:21 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0d9c6XdFn1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>brooklyn by night</p>http://throwawayblog.com/post/496256482http://throwawayblog.com/post/496256482Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0400graffitinycethnical<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0d7pnL6QT1qz9iteo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>pupusas served by dominicans that tasted like cornmeal, with plaintains and decidedly dominican blackbeans!
