Pistachio, fennel & red cabbage slaw

Slaws are my favourite side dish to make and the main ingredient is the humble yet phenomenal cabbage. Cheap and widely available, it is one of the most potent vegetables known to us, and it tastes fantastic with toasted fennel seeds and lashings of extra-virgin olive oil. I like to serve this with meat or fish, or on its own with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and some toasted seeds.
