Recipe: Fresh Red Cabbage and Fennel Slaw

Serves 4 to 6.

Note: Peppery, crunchy red cabbage and fennel, with its mild licorice notes, work beautifully in this simple slaw sparked with crushed fennel seeds and black pepper. Serve this with a little fresh goat cheese (chèvre) spread thickly on coarse bread drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with more crushed fennel. From Beth Dooley.
