Ingredients
2 tbsp. Wine vinegar
1 lb. red cabbage (about 1/3 head)
2 carrots
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
8 slice (thick) from 1 large round loaf of country bread
1 lb. smoked turkey
1 lb. tomatoes
Preparation
Step 1In a medium stainless-steel saucepan, heat the vinegar over moderate heat. Add the red cabbage and toss until it is starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the cabbage to a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl and toss with the carrots, mayonnaise, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.Step 2Heat the broiler. Put the bread on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until crisp on the outside but still slightly soft in the center, about 3 minutes in all. Sandwich the turkey, sliced tomato and slaw between pieces of toast.Step 3Variations: Embellish the slaw as you like. Chopped scallions, grated jicama or thin slices of green pepper all make good additions.Step 4Menu Suggestion: Sandwiches need simple, no-fuss companions, such as oven fries, chips or fruit salad.Step 5Wine Recommendation: Serve a simple, flavorful wine, such as a barrel-fermented sauvignon blanc from California or a a pinot blanc from Alsace in France.
