Chef Tips
A mandoline, with the 1/4-inch teeth attachment, works best for the preparation of this slaw. If you don’t have that or a mandoline use a peeler to get cool thin peels of the vegetable. You’ll still get the same delicious taste. There’s always another way.
Preparation
Step1
Preheat oven to 350°. Spread out pistachios on a small rimmed baking sheet; toast, stirring occasionally until golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.
Step 2
Combine garlic, currents, and vinegar in a large bowl; let sit 10 minutes.
Step 3
Remove garlic from raisin mixture and discard. Add carrots, beets, pistachios, parsley, mint, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Add oil; toss gently.
