wow. this recipe is pretty genius :)

thanks so much.

the only thing i'd add is a little cayenne :)

So wait... If you slice the jicama thinly enough, you can just roll stuff in it??? Did I miss a step?

[spicyfull]

Yes.....Maybe add a little Olive Oil on it........You would probably need a Slicer or Mandalin.

I never have good luck getting my mandoline to slice hard veggies like jicama, or turnips. What's the trick?

Thanks, I'd love to try these!!

Wendy, What kind of mandoline do you own? I had an inexpensive one and I threw it out. It was a piece of junk. Should have known by the price! If you have a more expensive one, it should perform (hence the higher price).

I saw this last night on top chief I will be trying it out.

Yes,I too have had a hard time using my cheap mandoline.I would really like a mandoline I can paper thin cut the toughest of veggies, like jicama. Any ideas here?

I am starting a thread with this question too.
