Need a coleslaw recipe

icemncmth · September 2010

I am not trying to start a war between creamy vs vinegar..

I am looking for something different to make this weekend when it comes to slaw.

What I usually make is..

Coleslaw with cilantro and jalapenos

4 cups of red cabbage, shredded
1/3 cup of mayonnaise
4 tablespoons of lime juice
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of cilantro (plus more if you’re as mad about it as I am!)
2 jalapenos diced
2 cloves of garlic pressed or minced
1 large radish, grated
1 teaspoon of Chipolte powder

Method:
Mix all ingredients and chill for a few hours for the flavors to meld. Serves four to six.

Outdoor Cabbage Slaw

serves 6-8

1 large head cabbage, finely shredded
2 large white Bermuda onions, thinly sliced
1 cup + 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Layer cabbage 2" thick in a large bowl; then layer onions 1/4" thick and repeat layers of cabbage and onions. Sprinkle 1 cup sugar over top of layers.

Heat 2 teaspoons sugar, mustard, celery seed, salt, vinegar and oil in a medium saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil and pour immediately over cabbage mix. Do not stir. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours. Stir mixture before serving. May be kept up to 6 days in frig.

Called "Outdoor" because of no mayo and is good for picnics. My dad loved to make it anytime and we would devour it. It's very refreshing on a hot summers day. I would help myself to a bowl of it just for a snack it is so good. Do not be afraid to alter the recipe to your tastes. I have had good results using either apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar. I would not restrict myself to just Bermuda onions but they are good in it. Olive oil could probably be a winner too. Like more onions? Go for it.

This recipe is from "gulfshore delights" cookbook, put out by The Junior Welfare League of Fort Myers, 1984, page 63. A good book.

Food for thought: Many years ago I worked in restaurants in Maine. In one of them I was assigned the job of making Cole Slaw out of grated green and red cabbage, onions, radishes and all the other usual ingredients. It was a mayo based dressing. One key ingredient that really set it apart from regular Cole Slaw was crushed pineapple and some of the juice from the pineapple. It added a sweetness and reduced the amount of mayo that was needed and made a great Cole slaw.

I've got several. Are you looking for anything in particular?

[Deleted User] · September 2010

Oh man... they have/had this "Asian Cole Slaw" at Harry's / Whole Foods at the salad bar that was absolutelty the BEST.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Maybe have a recipe for a resonable rendition?

I remember it had rice wine vinegar, some black sesame seeds, I know I tasted sesame oil, there was a bit of heat, and very thinly sliced/shaved/slivered sweet red bell pepper.

MAN IT WAS GOOD!

I had a Mustard Cole Slaw recipe that was outstanding. Got it out of a BBQ Mag. Has mustard and sour cream in it. If interested I will try to find it. Email me at QGALLO@HOTMAIL.COM

thebtls · September 2010

I see some great recipes there but personally I buy a bag of three color cabbage (shredded) and a bottle of marzetti's. Cole slaw shouldn't take time, it's a salad or a side dish that doesn't require effort or thought. At least at my house. Focus on the meat and short cut the fixins...speed is of the essence. ha. Keep On Eggin.

I have made broccoli slaw before with the bagged stripped broccoli.

I would love that mustard recipe!
