What's your favorite Slaw recipe?
I've been using a copycat recipe for KFC coleslaw and I'm getting tired of
it and want to try something different. If you got a favorite recipe, post it here! |

An old fave is mustard-pineapple slaw. Take some pineapple chunks and put in with the cabbage, then mix in a simple mayo/mustard/sugar/pineapple-juice dressing. It's sweet n' sour, the mustard (French's Yellow) providing the sour, the sugar and pineapple juice, the sweet. Don't mix all together until jes before serving, as the pineapple quickly sogs out the cabbage. nb |

German "Krautsalat", recipe with handwaving "by feel" amounts. Slice raw cabbage thinly, skipping the thick woody bits in the middle. (Think sauerkraut). Salt, mix in really well by hand. OK to oversalt, because you will pour of a part of that salt. Let stand until it weeps, 1/2 hour or so. Fry bacon. Alternatively dice ham/pork finely. Boil a broth, instant is fine. Add ham/bacon bits, whole caraway seeds and vinegar, trace of sugar. (I like to boil that well so the caraway softens a bit.) Drain salty fluid from cabbage. Put boiling broth over cabbage. Cabbage should be well wetted by the broth, not drenched. Cover well, and let steep until cool. Cabbage should be not raw, not cooked. Add a bit of oil, to taste. (Easy on the oil, easier on the sugar. The sugar is to give the vinegar body, not to sweeten.) Thomas Prufer |

Methinks this version could use just a smidgen of lemon juice though. This is from Ginger the BBQ Girl and I'm sure she copied it from someone else. The actual origin is obscure, but somebody brought it to a gathering at Bob and Ginger's homestead in Milan, GA many years ago. Ingredients 1 medium head cabbage, finely shredded 3 to 4 green onions, sliced 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup vinegar 1-1/2 teaspoons celery seed 1-1/2 teaspoons salt 3/4 cup canola oil Directions In a large bowl, combine cabbage and onions. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, celery seed and salt; bring to a boil. Add oil; return to boiling and cook until sugar dissolves. Pour over cabbage; toss gently. Chill. Yield: 14-18 servings. Brick said that. |

As I dimly remember, it does give it a fluffy texture. Whether it be jerk, curry, sofrito, masala, et., al, every grandmother has her own. Brick said that. |
