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!

    1 16oz bag shredded & washed coleslaw mix from the store
    1 cup mayo
    3 Tbsp sugar
    2 Tbsp lemon juice
    1/2 tsp salt

    Mix the sugar, salt, and lemon juice first, then stir in the cup of mayo...when well mixed, mix with the slaw mix.
