CABBAGE SALAD WITH TOASTED CORIANDER AND CUMIN MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a small skillet over high heat (or in a microwave oven at full power), toast coriander seeds and cumin seeds just until fragrant. Grind together using a mortar and pestle, and set aside. In a large bowl, combine savoy cabbage and red cabbage, and set aside.
• Prepare mayonnaise: In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, vinegar, shallot, chives, reserved coriander and cumin and large pinches of salt and pepper. Beginning a drop at a time, whisk in oil. As it emulsifies, add oil a little faster, in a slow steady stream. When mixture is thick, whisk in more vinegar to taste; mayonnaise should be highly seasoned.
• Fold 1/3 cup mayonnaise into cabbage. There should be enough to coat cabbage generously; add more if necessary. Cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour. Before serving, adjust seasonings, adding more salt or vinegar as needed.
