SPICY PEANUT COLESLAW LIKE ARMADILLO WILLY'S



Spicy Peanut Coleslaw Like Armadillo Willy's image

Not sure how many restaurants Armadillo Willy's have, but the one I usually go to is their original one and the one I've been going for something like 30 years. It's a BBQ restaurant with what I think of as one of the better tasting BBQ around. They also have this coleslaw that I really like. I've seen other clones but the one near us do not have onion, apple, green onion in their's. Taking it apart, it is chopped green cabbage with some red cabbage for color only, small amount of shredded carrots, cilantro and peanuts. What makes this coleslaw tasty is the spiciness. I've experimented with this dressing and it's not 100% there yet to the original one, but it's getting awfully close. The way most of these smaller places work is they incorporate what's available to them in their side offerings. And the cost is something they must look at. They keep 2-3 types of hot sauces for you to take to the table and I think that's where the spiciness is coming from.

Categories     Fruit

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 head green cabbage, finely shredded (about 1 lb)
1/4 head red cabbage or 1/4 head purple cabbage, finely shredded
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons smooth natural-style peanut butter
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar, to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon minced seeded jalapeno, to taste (optional)
2 medium kohlrabi, bulbs peeled and grated (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
1/4 cup julienned water chestnut
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dried currant (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste
roasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Toss the cabbages and carrot with 1 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl or in the sink; let it stand until the cabbage wilts, which will take between 1 to 4 hours.
  • Rinse the cabbage under cold running water (if you're serving the slaw immediately, rinse under water and then in a large bowl of ice water to chill).
  • Press gently to drain then pat dry with paper towels; cabbage can be stored overnight in refrigerator to chill in a re-sealable container.
  • To make the dressing, in a food processor purée together the peanut butter, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, cayenne, and jalapeno (if using) until smooth (taste it at this point to see if you want to add more cayenne or jalapeno).
  • Toss the dressing with the cabbage, carrot, grated kohlrabi, water chestnuts, and green onions (and the currants, if using - they add nice little surprising bits of sweetness to the slaw!) together in a bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Cover, and refrigerate until chilled and ready to serve; garnish with sesame seeds.
  • Makes about 6 cups, serving 6 to 8.
  • Note: you can also make the slaw without wilting the cabbage/carrot in the 1 tsp of salt - it's up to you. You might try it both ways to see which you prefer.

PEANUT SLAW



Peanut Slaw image

Like reverse butterflies, when the showy yellow blooms of peanuts begin to fade, the peduncle bows to the ground and buries its head in the earth, forming the webbed cocoon-like shells this legume is known for. This slaw is a great one for picnics in the hot summer because it isn't bound by mayonnaise. Chile, cilantro, and rice vinegar give it a fresh, spicy crunch that makes it the perfect peanutty partner for grilled chicken or pork.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup peanut oil
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot chile sauce, such as Sriracha
1/2 large head napa cabbage, very finely chopped
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions, white and green parts
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup dry, unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a bowl or glass measuring cup, mix together the peanut oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and chile sauce. Whisk together until the dressing is well combined.
  • In large plastic bag or glass bowl, gently combine the cabbage, green onions, and cilantro. Add the dressing and chopped peanuts, season with salt and pepper, and stir a few times until the peanuts are mixed in.

Tips:

  • For a creamy peanut slaw, use smooth peanut butter. For a chunkier slaw, use chunky peanut butter.
  • To make the slaw ahead of time, prepare it up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in the refrigerator and toss it with the dressing before serving.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • For a spicier slaw, add more cayenne pepper or Sriracha sauce to taste.
  • If you don't have cabbage, you can use a mix of shredded broccoli slaw and shredded carrots.
  • Serve the slaw as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp. It's also great as a topping for tacos or sandwiches.

Conclusion:

Bruce's Spicy Peanut Slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
