IRENE'S WILTED COLESLAW



Irene's Wilted Coleslaw image

This is a very easy, tried and true recipe. I use a food processor with a shredding blade to get the right texture. You can use a bag of shredded cabbage (found in the refrigerator section of your market) instead of shredding the cabbage yourself. This is best made a few hours before serving or a day in advance.

THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW



The Best Vinegar Coleslaw image

We love the zippiness that a vinegar-based dressing brings to this coleslaw, making it the perfect partner for rich, meaty dishes like pulled pork or ribs. Cabbage can take lots of seasoning and lots of vinegar, so don't be bashful. But the real secret to this colorful coleslaw is the marinating time - a long trip to the fridge softens up the veggies and gives them time to absorb the flavors of the vinaigrette. A drizzle of olive oil at the end balances the acidity.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more if needed
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/2 head green cabbage, cored and very thinly sliced
1/2 head red cabbage, cored and very thinly sliced
4 large carrots, peeled and shredded on the large holes of a box grater
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk together the vinegar, salt, sugar, celery salt, pepper and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing for serving. Toss the green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots in the remaining dressing until the vegetables are completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3.
  • Strain the coleslaw through a colander and discard the liquid. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and the oil. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. Toss to coat.

VERY GREEN COLESLAW WITH GRILLED POBLANOS



Very Green Coleslaw With Grilled Poblanos image

Either you hate coleslaw or it's a must for your cookout plate. As a condiment, it makes sauce-drenched chicken or pork taste even better, balancing out any spice. The grilled poblanos are what make the difference in this dish, which is adapted from the cookbook "Watermelon and Red Birds" by Nicole Taylor. It does wonders for a barbecue staple.

Categories     dinner, lunch, condiments, salads and dressings, slaws, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 poblano chiles
12 cups grated or thinly sliced green cabbage (from about 2 medium heads, cores removed)
1 cup thinly sliced scallions
1 cup seasoned rice vinegar
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
2 garlic cloves, grated
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon celery seed
¼ teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the slaw: Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high (400 degrees). Place the poblanos on the hot grill over direct heat. Cook until the skin is charred, 12 to 15 minutes, turning once or twice. (If using a gas grill, keep the grill covered between flips.) Transfer to a cutting board and let cool. Remove the stems and seeds then finely chop. (The poblanos can be grilled ahead. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to 1 day.)
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, celery seed and salt until combined, then gradually whisk in the olive oil until well blended. Whisk in the hot sauce, if using.
  • Finish the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, chopped poblanos, scallions, vinegar, sugar and salt; let stand for about 10 minutes. This process breaks down the cabbage and produces liquid. Feel free to pour off excess liquid before adding dressing. Add the dressing and toss until well combined and serve. The slaw can be made up to 2 days in advance. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. Pour off excess liquid before serving. Your cabbage should be tender with a crunch.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used in wilted coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. Look for cabbages that are firm and have tightly packed leaves.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage wilt more easily and absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will make shredding the cabbage easier and give you more even pieces.
  • Don't over-dress the coleslaw: The dressing should coat the cabbage lightly, not drown it. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more as needed.
  • Let the coleslaw wilt for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the cabbage to soften and absorb the dressing flavors.
  • Serve the coleslaw chilled: This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Wilted coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its tangy, sweet, and creamy dressing, wilted coleslaw is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
