Houston chef Monica Pope shares a seasonal recipe ahead of her brunch series

HOUSTON – Chef and James Beard Award nominee Monica Pope is best known for her farm-to-table philosophy.  For a limited time, you can join Pope for brunch at the "OIMBY" Summer Sunday Brunch Series with Monica Pope & Friends.

Pope stopped by Houston Life to share a seasonal recipe that you can make at home. 

Seasonal Slaw [Summer]:

Ingredients: 

• 1/4 each head of red & green cabbage

Pro Tip: Go to a farmer’s market and find three to five local vegetables that are in season, crunchy and different colors like a rainbow. These will be “slawed” or shaved and remain raw. Have on hand spicy pecans and dried sour cherries.  

Miso Happy Dressing:

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup Bragg’s apple cider vinegar or lemon or lime juice 
• 2 1/2 Tbls Miso
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped 
• 2 tsp ginger, peeled and minced or grated
• 3 Tbls honey 
• 3 Tbls water 
• 1/4 cup parsley, basil or chive 
• 1 cup sesame or grape seed oil 

Directions:

Blend all ingredients together in a food processor and add water until thin consistency.  Dress the slaw when ready to serve.
