Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Ideas on cole slaw

I just stir before shoveling some onto a plate!

Also, I use about 1/4 head of red cabbage. It adds color and a little 'bite'.

You got some weird strain of cabbages up there ?

Our cabbage is sweet and crunchy.

I've heard it said that he has a .270 in "the closet", as well !

Coleslaw

10 cups chopped shredded red and green cabbage.
1/4 cup grated carrot
2 cups mayo
1/2 cup sugar
2 T prepared horseradish (I actually use a little more in mine)
1 T dry mustard
1 T white pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. celery seeds

Toss the cabbage and carrot in a bowl.

Mix salad dressing, sugar, horseradish, dry mustard, white pepper, salt, garlic power and celery seeds in a bowl. Add to the cabbage mixture and mix well. Chill covered, until serving time.

To all. I just made my best ever batch of cole slaw yum!. About 3/4 of a quart. VERY GOOD.

i used Hellmans mayo instead of MW because that's what I had on hand as well as sour creme which for me was a new addition.

Soaking my cabbage in salted water made this batch kind of runny but added a new flavor profile which I liked. No problem with the added liquid as I can simply adjust or drain longer.

Ribs this week end if the store has any and the cole slaw will be great with them.

Thanks all.

I'm more of a vinegar based coleslaw kind of guy. The tartness and the cold crunch of cabbage really makes a good compliment to summer grilling.

Method:

1/4 cup red wine vinegar or rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
3 green onions, thinly sliced
2 8-ounce packages coleslaw mix

Mix items then toss with coleslaw mix and onion. Chill and serve. Leftovers kinda pickle the slaw after a day or two.

And I bet it is excellent !

Drain the cabbage and let sit in colander in sink for 20 mins or so before adding dressing.

Indeed.

Well, Denny has already made some, but give jalapeno slaw a try. Mix fine shredded cabbage, sour cream, mayo, finley diced jalapeno, cilantro, salt, pepper, garlic, and a dash of lime. Serve on/with fish tacos, pulled pork, whatever the heck you like. Make it as hot or mild as you want. Try different peppers or some cumin.

My wife and I were spending a couple of days in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania a few years ago, touring the battlefield. One day we had lunch at a downtown restaurant, and the cole slaw was very good. We asked about the recipe, and it turned out the secret ingredient was a little bit of pineapple juice.

They didn't use Miracle Whip. In my experience a taste for MW is more often found in Southerners, though not always....

Not sure where you even get pineapple juice...

Mr. B, I forgot about using PJ and yes it DOES add a nice accent to the dish. Thanks for bringing it up.
Wish I got up to Pa. more often as there's an ice cream shop in Gettysburg that's almost worth the 4 hour drive from here.

It's about 4 or 5 stores off the town square headed east on 30 on the right hand side.

See ya there !

Usually in the canned fruit juice section.

284LUVR,

I know the ice cream shop! We stopped there too.

From pineapples.

duh.....

I'm stunned...

I'm with you Ingwe. Our pantry is never without Miracle Whip.

Never dreamed I'd feel sorry for a pantry.
