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.

EASY CABBAGE CASSEROLE - TASTES LIKE CABBAGE ROLLS



Easy Cabbage Casserole - Tastes Like Cabbage Rolls image

This is a great recession meal. Very inexpensive yet HEALTHY and filling! You just do not find that very often. So many recipes that are quick and easy... one pan wonders... etc.. are high in fat and calories and lack much nutrition. I like to hide more veggies in here too! Think carrots, celery, etc,, grated, diced, chopped whatever. If you like spicy foods try Hot & Spicy V8 here and you can even add some cayenne if you like. There is just something we like about spicy mixed with sweet- so the hint of sweetness in the sauce is fantastic. At my house, whoever finds the bay leaf is the lucky one! Just do not eat it Hope you enjoy this comforting casserole!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 6 very ample portions, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium cabbage (shredded and bagged cabbage or coleslaw mix works great and saves this step)
16 ounces ground turkey or 16 ounces lean ground beef
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced (more if you like)
1 eggs, beaten or 1 egg substitute
1/2 cup milk
1 cup cooked rice
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
8 ounces tomato sauce
10 ounces condensed tomato soup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (more if you like) (optional)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh ground is best
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Saute onion and garlic in a large skillet for about a minute. Add meat and cook, stirring often, until meat is no longer pink. Drain well and let cool to room temperature. When meat has cooled add egg, milk and rice.
  • Meanwhile, remove tough outer leaves from cabbage & remove core. Shred cabbage if not using a bag of shredded cabbage. Saute the cabbage in the same skillet used before.
  • In a large bowl mix all the sauce ingredients together. Place some of this mixture in the bottom of a sprayed 10x13 casserole dish so you have a nice layer of sauce. Try not to use more than half though.
  • Layer half the cabbage on top of the sauce. Layer all the meat on top of the cabbage. Top with remaining cabbage and then finish by pouring all the remaining sauce on top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbly.
  • Garnish with a dollop of sour cream if desired. Remember- whoever finds the bay leaf is the lucky one! Just do not eat it!
