PEPPER CABBAGE AKA AMISH SLAW-ANNETTE'S



Pepper Cabbage aka Amish Slaw-Annette's image

I love sauerkraut cooked in brown sugar. I love it sweet with just a hint of sour. This recipe is the same. Cabbage and peppers with vinegar and sugar give it that sweet and sour flavor. The cabbage gives it a slight crunch though unlike kraut. This is known as 'Amish Slaw or Pickled cabbage' as well. It goes great with anything...

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing better and make it more tender.
  • Shred the carrots by hand or with a food processor. If you use a food processor, be careful not to over-shred the carrots, or they will become mushy.
  • Use a combination of white and red cabbage for a more colorful slaw. You can also add other vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or bell pepper.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste the dressing before adding it to the slaw. You may need to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Toss the slaw with the dressing just before serving. This will help to prevent the slaw from getting watery.

Conclusion:

Amish slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. With its sweet and tangy dressing, Amish slaw is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic.
