I have bought jicama several times and ended up not knowing WHAT the heck to do with it. I’ll usually end up adding it to a salad or slicing it into strips and eating it with some homemade hummus.
A few weeks ago I went to a tasting at Gumbos. The dish that stood head and shoulders over every other contained spicy jicama slaw. I’ve been dreaming of ways to replicate it and vegan-ize it since then.
Success! Ingredients include:
Jicama, Tahini, Sriracha, Green Onion, Cilantro (optional) and LIME (quite a bit)
Of course, no measurements this time but the ingredients were the toughest part to figure out for me. I challenge you to throw them together and see how they work. This went well with my black bean, sweet potato, and avocado tacos.
I also made some surprisingly good horchata as well. More on that recipe to come.
Have a great week!
