LOWCOUNTRY PICKLED COLESLAW



Lowcountry Pickled Coleslaw image

Ben Moïse, a retired game warden in South Carolina, has been serving a version of this coleslaw at his Frogmore stew parties for years. The hot, boiled dressing softens the cabbage and pickles it slightly. The result is a salad that stays delicious even when it sits outside on a picnic table for a few hours. The amount of vegetables can vary, and a finely chopped jalapeño can be added for a little extra heat.

1/2 cup finely diced carrot

Juice of 1 freshly squeezed lime
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

PICKLEBACK SLAW



Pickleback Slaw image

Those artisanal pickles from the farmers' market sure are expensive, so don't throw out the juice in which they're pickled. You can serve the stuff as a shot to accompany a glass of whiskey and a cold beer, as the New York chef Zakary Pelaccio has done, or you can whisk it into the dressing used for coleslaw, as is done here. Don't have any? Never fear: a few tablespoons of relish from the market will offer a similar effect.

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons pepper sauce, like Frank's, or to taste

CRISP PICKLED COLE SLAW



Crisp Pickled Cole Slaw image

This was passed down to me from my mother and it is just great!! My 6 year old son and his friends love it! It is great on the side with burgers or BBQ sandwiches and baked beans. I also like it as a snack. The purple cabbage makes it look so pretty, but you can also use just one type of cabbage(one type of vinegar may be used as well). Also, if you like it hot, try putting in a sliced jalapeno pepper or put some Tabasco sauce in it when you serve it. This recipe makes a lot, but it's ok because it keeps so well.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 medium green cabbage
1/2 medium purple cabbage
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 onion
2 carrots
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup champagne vinegar or 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2-3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

  • Finely shred the 2 different color cabbages(I use a mandolin, but a very sharp knife does just fine).
  • Slice the peppers thinly and chop into small pieces.
  • Cut the onion into 4 pieces.
  • Thinly slice the four pieces and separate into slices.
  • Finely julienne the 2 carrots(or more if desired) and cut into small pieces or grate them on a grater.
  • Place all the chopped and shredded vegetables into a large bowl.
  • In a small saucepan combine the sugar, vinegars, salt and celery seed.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Boil for 3 minutes.
  • Pour the hot vinegar over the shredded and chopped vegetables.
  • Combine well.
  • Transfer into large jars to store in the refrigerator.
  • Cool before serving.
  • This keeps for a very, very long time in the frig and actually gets better after "pickling" for several days.

ALMOST FAMOUS COLESLAW



Almost Famous Coleslaw image

Here's our take on the coleslaw served at KFC. It's sweet and cooling and a perfect pairing for salty fried chicken or any barbecue sandwich.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     condiment

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 14-ounce bag coleslaw mix (traditional mix of green cabbage and carrots)
1/2 small onion
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Pinch paprika
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Working with half of the bag at a time, chop the coleslaw mix into 1/8-inch pieces (about the width of the carrots). Transfer to a large bowl. Dice enough of the onion into 1/8-inch pieces to yield 1/4 cup. Transfer to a fine-mesh strainer and rinse with cold water for 1 minute to soften the flavor. Gently wring out the onions in a paper towel and then stir into the coleslaw mix.
  • In a pint jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid, stir together the sugar and 3 tablespoons water until the sugar dissolves a bit. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard powder, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt, put on the lid and shake vigorously until completely combined. Stir the dressing into the coleslaw, then set aside for 10 minutes to marinate and soften, stirring a few times. Add more salt, if needed. The coleslaw will keep, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 1 day.

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots for a more uniform texture.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade.
  • Be sure to rinse the cabbage and carrots thoroughly before using them to remove any dirt or debris.
  • The pickling liquid can be adjusted to your taste. If you like a sweeter slaw, add more sugar. If you like a more tangy slaw, add more vinegar.
  • Let the slaw marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
  • The slaw can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Lowcountry pickled coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a new side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
