Ganda ham with red cabbage slaw and oranges

There’s no reason to give red cabbage a bad ‘wrap,’ when there are countless ways to use this underrated vegetable. Try serving your red cabbage slaw as a canapé by pairing the leafy red leaves’ green-fatty and floral, honey-scented aromatic links with Ganda ham, a sea salt-cured, traditional Belgian ham.

A citrusy vinaigrette and fresh bits of orange will help balance the sulfurous vegetal-onion flavor of the red cabbage slaw. Add a dash of soy sauce to bring out the Brassica’s nutty notes, and olive oil to emphasize its green-grassy and -fatty scent. You’ll be surprised how simple yet satisfying this Ganda ham with red cabbage slaw and oranges is!
