Spicy cole slaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that adds a kick to any meal.

The dressing is typically made with mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and mustard, which balances out the heat of the peppers and adds a creamy, tangy flavor. The result is a dish that is both spicy and refreshing, and sure to be a hit at your next gathering.

SPICY CHIPOTLE COLE SLAW



Spicy Chipotle Cole Slaw image

Adapted from one of Emeril's recipes, where he did an episode with "crazy tacos". We like to make this and serve it in the fish tacos. I don't use Emeril's fish taco recipe, though. Instead I serve with Recipe #232309. I've change the propotions a bit and added some extras like cilantro and carrots. I really like the onions. Update 6/6/07: I made this tonight and measured everything as I made it, so I've updated the amounts (usually I don't measure, but just eyeball it).

Categories     side-dish

Time 19m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head red cabbage, shredded
1 bunch scallions, sliced on the bias into 1-inch strips
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 tablespoons hot chile sesame oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For a classic coleslaw, green cabbage is the traditional choice. However, you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both for a more colorful slaw.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Add other vegetables for extra crunch and flavor: Some popular additions include carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Make your own dressing: This is the best way to control the flavor and spice level of your slaw. There are many different recipes available online, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Let the slaw chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • Serve as a side dish or topping: Coleslaw is a great accompaniment to grilled meats, fish, or sandwiches. It can also be used as a topping for tacos, nachos, or salads.

Conclusion:

Spicy coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its crunchy texture, tangy dressing, and spicy kick, it's sure to be a hit at your next barbecue, potluck, or picnic.
