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.

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.

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.

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.

Provided by Kim Severson

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups chopped green cabbage (½-inch pieces)
2 cups chopped purple cabbage (½-inch pieces)
1/2 heaping cup chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
1/2 cup finely diced carrot
1/2 cup finely diced red bell or other sweet pepper
1 large clove garlic
1/2 tablespoon salt, more to taste
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 freshly squeezed lime
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the slaw: Put the chopped and diced vegetables in a bowl or other container that will fit in the refrigerator.
  • Make the dressing: Crush the garlic, and with the side of a knife work the salt into the clove until it makes a rough paste. Add the garlic paste, ginger, vinegar, oil and 1/3 cup water to a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring now and then. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 1 or 2 minutes, then pour over the vegetables, tossing well to combine. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For the best coleslaw, choose a firm, crisp cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both for a colorful slaw.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: Thinly shredded cabbage will absorb the dressing better and make for a more tender slaw. You can use a food processor fitted with a shredding disc or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what makes coleslaw so delicious, so be sure to use a flavorful one. There are many different recipes for coleslaw dressing, but some common ingredients include mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, and sugar. You can also add other ingredients to your dressing, such as bacon, cheese, or nuts.
  • Chill the coleslaw before serving: Coleslaw is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • Serve coleslaw as a side dish or topping: Coleslaw is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or topping for a variety of dishes, such as fried chicken, grilled fish, or tacos.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find a coleslaw that you and your family will love.
