CONFETTI SLAW WITH SPICY PEANUT DRESSING



Confetti Slaw with Spicy Peanut Dressing image

Chris Kimball, author of "The Yellow Farmhouse Cookbook," prepares this unusual coleslaw with spicy peanut dressing to accompany his crispy, crunchy fried chicken.After chopping the cabbage, Chris sprinkles it with a teaspoon of salt and lets it sit for a few hours to draw out the excess water. Unsalted cabbage will leech water into the dressing, making the slaw overly wet and separating the dressing from the greens.

Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound green cabbage (about half a medium head), finely shredded
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
2 medium garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
One 1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger
1/2 jalapeno, seeded
4 medium radishes, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
4 medium scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Toss cabbage and carrot with 1 teaspoon salt in a colander or large mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. Let stand until cabbage wilts, 1 to 4 hours. Rinse cabbage under cold running water (or in large bowl of ice water if serving slaw immediately). Press, but do not squeeze, to drain; pat dry with paper towels. (Cabbage can be stored in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerated overnight.)
  • In the bowl of a food processor, puree peanut butter, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and jalapeno until a smooth paste is formed. Toss cabbage, carrot, radishes, scallions, and dressing together in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh vegetables. If you can, buy your vegetables from a farmers market or local grocery store.
  • To save time, you can use pre-shredded cabbage and carrots. However, if you have the time, shredding the vegetables yourself will give you a more flavorful slaw.
  • If you don't have any roasted peanuts on hand, you can toast them in a pan or in the oven. Just be sure to watch them closely so they don't burn.
  • The spicy peanut dressing is what really makes this slaw special. Be sure to taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Confetti slaw is a great side dish for any summer cookout or potluck. It's also a healthy and refreshing snack.

Conclusion:

Confetti slaw is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any summer gathering. The combination of fresh vegetables, roasted peanuts, and spicy peanut dressing is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing side dish, give confetti slaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
