3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Texas Pete

Memphis Style Mustard Coleslaw Recipe image

This is THE most flavorful coleslaw recipe you'll ever try, I can promise you that. You've never had anything quite like this. Perfect with Memphis barbeque ribs or chicken (or whatever), you'll probably want to make this instead of your regular coleslaw for... well, forever. It's that good. You'll want to start this a day in advance if you have time. Because while taking the time to draw the extra liquid from the veggies really makes the texture of the final slaw, it does take some time to drain, rinse, and dry them

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head green cabbage, shredded (or 1 16 oz. bag coleslaw mix)
2 large carrots, shredded
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup chili sauce (can use ketchup in a pinch)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon celery seed
2/3 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Combine prepared vegetables (cabbage, carrot, jalepeño, and onion) and salt together in a strainer over the sink.
  • Let sit at least 15 minutes (1-2 hours is better) to drain. This keeps the finished slaw from being nasty and watery.
  • Rinse the vegetables under cold water and let dry. In a bowl or plastic bag, place in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to one day.
  • To make dressing, combine mustards, vinegar, chili sauce, mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and sugar in a medium, non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add celery seed. Reduce heat and simmer about 3-5 minutes, until sugar has dissolved.
  • Cool to room temperature. Pour over veggies in a large serving bowl. Mix well.
  • Refrigerate at least an hour before serving. Perfect on a Memphis barbeque pulled pork sandwich.

Provided by JimMac

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the dressing:
1/4 cup French's® yellow mustard
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
For the salad:
1 bag (16 ounces) Classic Cole Slaw blend
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons celery seed
Hot sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • For the dressing: In small bowl whisk together the mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For the salad: In a large salad bowl toss together the slaw, green bell pepper, and celery seed. Add the dressing to taste and gently toss until well combined. Season with the hot sauce to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. If you're using green cabbage, be sure to shred it thinly so that it's tender and easy to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage. This will help to create thin, even shreds that will cook evenly.
  • Don't over-dress the coleslaw. The dressing should coat the cabbage, but it shouldn't be so heavy that it weighs it down.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve coleslaw as a side dish with barbecue, fried chicken, or fish. It's also a great addition to sandwiches and wraps.

Conclusion:

Memphis-style mustard coleslaw is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its tangy, sweet, and creamy flavor, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
