WARM RED CABBAGE SALAD WITH ROAST CHICKEN AND GORGONZOLA CHEESE

Steps:

• Finely chop garlic cloves in processor. Add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and blend until smooth. With machine running, gradually add olive oil and process until well blended. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Combine cabbage, chicken, fennel, radicchio, onion, walnuts, carrot and pear slices in large bowl. Pour enough dressing over salad to coat. Toss well.

RED CABBAGE SLAW WITH GRIDDLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the mustard, garlic and sugar into a large bowl, season if you want to and mix well. Gradually whisk in 5 tbsp of the oil. Mix the cabbage into the dressing. Set aside until needed (can be made a day ahead).
• Place a ridged griddle or heavy-based frying pan over a high-ish heat. Brush the chicken with the remaining oil and cook on the hot griddle, skin side down, for 10 mins until it's crispy and golden, then turn and continue to cook for another 5 mins until completely cooked.
• Scatter the chicory leaves on 4 plates, mix the beans in with the slaw and serve with the chicken and a drizzle of olive oil.

RED AND GREEN CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut away and discard the core of both the green and red cabbage. Cut away the tough bottom or center portions of the outer leaves.
• Shred the cabbage pieces as finely as possible. There should be about 4 cups of each color.
• Put the mustard and vinegar in a mixing bowl large enough to hold all the cabbage shreds. Start beating with a wire whisk. Add the oil or oils while beating with the whisk. Stir in the shallots and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Meanwhile, bring enough water to the boil to cover the cabbage when it is added. Add the cabbage and bring to a full rolling boil. Drain immediately. Empty the cabbage into a clean towel or cheesecloth, and when it is cool enough to handle, press to extract as much liquid as possible. Add the cabbage to the mixing bowl with the sauce. Toss to blend. Serve warm or at room temperature.
