Method
- Start by making the dressing. Lightly dry-roast the cumin seeds in a small frying pan for a minute or so to release their flavour, then grind to a powder.
- In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk, mustard, garlic, cumin, salt, vinegar and lime juice, then gradually whisk in the olive oil.
- Stir in the sour cream, taste and add more seasoning if needed.
- Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry frying pan for a minute or so, until lightly coloured.
- In a large bowl, mix all the slaw ingredients together, but save some of the pumpkin seeds for garnish.
- About 10 minutes before you sit down to eat, toss the slaw with the dressing and sprinkle with the reserved pumpkin seeds.
