Coleslaw recipe to use with pulled pork

bigguy136

I've been looking for a coleslaw recipe. Not sure what tastes good with pulled pork. Here are two that I'm thinking of. Any thoughts?

1st one

2 cups shredded cabbage  2 tablespoons minced onion  2 tablespoons white vinegar  2 tablespoons mayonnaise  1 clove garlic, minced  2 teaspoons sugar  1 teaspoon ground black pepper  1/2 teaspoon salt

And the second one

1/4 cup cider vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon celery seed

1/2 cup light mayonnaise

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 (16-oz) bag shredded cole slaw mix

You might want to check out Elder Ward's Recipe for cole slaw.  For my Mojo Pork, I just finely sliced some green and red cabbage and added a little mayo.  Good luck, whatever you try.

Here's another variant:

    4 C    red cabbage, shredded
    1/2 C    carrot, shredded
    1/2 C    red onion, chopped
    1/2 C    red wine vinegar
        or
            rice vinegar
    1 tsp    mustard seeds
    to taste    salt and pepper
    1 tsp    red pepper flakes (opt)

Combine cabbage, carrots, red onion, vinegar, mustard seeds and (red pepper flakes) in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate one hour before serving.

I prefer the vinegar flavor, and thinness. Leave out the red pepper, and add some mayo for a milder topping.

mines all about the mayo! I recently did some pulled pork for friends and served it with this slaw and they loved it!!

per person i use:

1/2 cup shredded red cabbage

1/2 cup shredded green cabbage

1/4 cup grated carrot

1/4 cup grated green apple (use something tart-in Australia granny smith greens are perfect)

this way you can make it up for  4 or 400!!

then I use the best quality store bought mayo you can find (try to get whole egg, like S&W or european style) use 1/2 cup per person then mix in 1 minced garlic clove 1 small finely chopped chilli and 1 teaspoon lime juice (also per person) occasionally i add some fresh coriander (I think you guys call it cilantro) and away you go!

this mayo is also lovely with cold prawn salad or hot shrimp

enjoy!
