I recently had lunch at a BBQ place in Birmingham and they served a brownish/reddish slaw. They used it kinda like a relish, but after a little research I think its called BBQ slaw. I tried a recipe from the recipes section but it didn't turn out right?!? Does anyone have a good recipe?

    Need more details about the slaw, but here is one option.


    Slaw, Coleslaw, Red, Lexington, NC


    INGREDIENTS:
    100 lbs Med. chopped cabbage (1 lb.)
    6 quart Ketchup (4 Tbs)
    10 lbs Sugar (3 Tbs)
    1/2 gallon Vinegar (4%) (1 Tbs)
    8 oz Salt (1/2 tsp)
    8 oz Pepper (1/2 tsp)
    1/4 tsp Ground red pepper (pinch or so, to taste)




    Procedure:
    1 Lexington Barbecue, I thought I'd share their recipe for cole-slaw (you know, the kind you put in the sandwich with the Q). Pam and I were fortunate enough to visit Lexington Barbecue back in July. We really liked the slaw. It was a nice alternative to the mayo/half-n-half/cream based slaws typical of other areas. I wrote to Allen H., and he kindly shared their recipe. I reduced the quantities listed if you don't want to follow Allan's recipe (in parentheses). Mix all dry ingredients into the chopped cabbage, and let sit for 20 minutes. Then add the wet ingredients and mix well. Allow to refrigerate as long as possible before serving. We've made this twice since getting home. Used it on pork bbq sandwiches and as a side with ribs. Mmmmm good.

    Can't help you with red or brown slaw. The only time I eat cole slaw is when I'm having Q and, for me anyway, the only style that goes with Q is the KFC stuff. I do have a recipe for that if you're interested. Looks and tastes almost identical to the original. Actually, I think it tastes better.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Here ya go, Jim...

    Mix everything except the carrots, cabbage and onions together. I use a whisk. Then add the rest and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate a couple of hrs.

    1/2 C mayo
    1/3 C sugar
    1/4 C milk
    1/4 C buttermilk
    2 1/2 T fresh lemon juice
    1 1/2 T white vinegar
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/8 tsp pepper

    8 C finely chopped cabbage
    1/4 C shredded carrot
    2 T minced onion

    Makes quite a bit so I usually cut it. Good luck!
