IRENE'S WILTED COLESLAW

This is a very easy, tried and true recipe. I use a food processor with a shredding blade to get the right texture. You can use a bag of shredded cabbage (found in the refrigerator section of your market) instead of shredding the cabbage yourself. This is best made a few hours before serving or a day in advance.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 head green cabbage, cut into1 inch wedges so it can fit into the food processor
1 medium onion, cut into quarters
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

Place green cabbage and onions through the processor. Place the cabbage and onion mixture in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar on top. Let stand.
In a small saucepan, heat oil, sugar, vinegar, salt on medium heat until boiling.
Pour mixture over cabbage mixture and mix well.
Sprinkle celery seed over mixture and mix well.
Refrigerate until ready to use.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and other vegetables. This will help them wilt more easily and evenly.
To save time, you can use a pre-shredded cabbage mix. However, be sure to rinse it well before using to remove any excess moisture.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
For a creamier coleslaw, use mayonnaise instead of buttermilk. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra richness.
To add a bit of sweetness to the coleslaw, add a spoonful of sugar or honey. You can also use a grated apple or carrot for a natural sweetness.
For a more savory coleslaw, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, celery seeds, or caraway seeds. You can also crumble in some bacon or hard-boiled eggs for a protein boost.
Serve the coleslaw immediately or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
