Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Cole Slaw

Sometimes I like it plain and simple, a nice change from the creamy kind. Slice cabbage as thin as you can. One part water, one part vinegar, usually white but sometimes cider if I feel like it, one part sugar. A little more sugar. I don't like much oil so a splash of whatever, usually corn sounds good. Pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Let stand 4-6 hours with an occasional mix.

Anyone of you Carolina folks have a recipe for that red slaw that's made in your area? Its a natural pairing with a good BBQ.

Folks, if you haven't had slaw with a goodly amount of horseradish in it, then you have yet to taste your best slaw. I prefer slaw with creamy dressing but it's all good. Just DON'T FORGET THE HORSERADISH!

Similar to Nighthawk, we'll mix it up some times and just use a red wine or balsamic vinegrette. I'd never let it near my barbecue, but it's a quick and easy way to add some roughage to the diet.

i got a recipe for cole slaw from here years ago, people rave about it, but i usually make it in quantity for up to a hundred or so, comes out better

Share ???


Thank you.

Just threw together a bunch.

I like mine vinegar based, no mayo. Maybe 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, a couple tablespoons of olive oil, maybe a teaspoon of honey, salt, pepper and celery seeds.


The kids like the shredded carrot in it, so usually throw in one or two of those.

For those that like cider vinegar in your slaw dressings try a good balsamic as well sometime.

never did think sugar in slaw was kosher. but i've eaten sweet slaw.

slaw ought to be crunchy, and a bit of bite in it's proper state.

I made some tonight. Little salt and lots of pepper. Onion powder olive oil Balsamic vinegar. Shredded cabbage chopped apples. Mayonaise.

Stop buggin me, this is the recipe I don't follow:

Coleslaw

For 1 lb of cabbage

1 cup mayo
2 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs dry mustard
1 Tbs horseradish
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp celery seeds
2 Tbs vinegar

For perfection, reduce the amount of the following: mayo, sugar, dry mustard, horseradish and celery seeds, and add to this some fresh ground black pepper.

I don't like it overly watery and sweet, and 1/2 tsp of celery seed is way too much for the quantity. There.
