KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS COLESLAW

Kittencal's Famous Coleslaw image

This is the most delicious coleslaw that you will ever have! I make this for weddings, large socials and in the summer for BBQ's and parties, and there is never anything left it all goes and everyone wants the recipe --- plan ahead the coleslaw needs to be refrigerated for the stated time to blend the flavors, this coleslaw will intensify in flavor with chilling time --- this is not a thick heavy dressing like some other coleslaw recipes it's the perfect texture and flavor and what makes this coleslaw stand out from all others is the fresh lemon juice so please use only fresh I have used bottled in the past and it is just not the same --- the dressing amount will yield enough for two 16-ounce packages prepared coleslaw mix or 1 head of green cabbage --- for one 16-ounce package prepared coleslaw mix use the dressing amounts posted on bottom of recipe and add in 3 or more large of chopped green onions.

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.

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.

KITTENCAL'S MARINATED OIL AND VINEGAR COLESLAW

Kittencal's Marinated Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw image

I make this quite often for BBQ parties and everyone loves it! plan ahead, this salad must be prepared a day ahead and left in the fridge overnight to blend the flavors, it will take on a completely different flavor --- I have even added in lightly blanched broccoli and/or cauliflower florets to the veggies, feel free to add in whatever you want to --- remember to add in the white sugar to suit taste if you prefer a sweeter coleslaw adjust the sugar amount, I have added up to about 1 cup, taste the dressing before adding to the salad if you think it needs more sugar then add it into the dressing before mixing into the slaw just make certain to whisk very well so that the sugar is mixed in completely.

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS CAESAR SALAD

Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad image

I developed this dressing years ago, and I can honestly say that you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the fridge for a taste, it is that good! --- although I do think the dressing is better with the anchovy it can certainly be made without them. In a pinch I have even substituted buttermilk for the half and half cream, just use about the same amount --- this dressing gets stronger with refrigeration time so a small amount of fresh garlic goes a long way! ---- usually one recipe without doubling is perfect for one large romaine lettuce, if you are serving a large crowd of people you might want to double -- salad dressing will not work for this use only mayonnaise, I find Hellman's brand mayonnaise works the best and for the perfect companion to this salad see my recipe#125034-------------LOWER-FAT OPTION use reduced fat mayonnaise and fat-free half and half or low-fat milk --- also see my recipe#66596

parmesan cheese
freshly grated black pepper (to taste)

1 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing Hellman's is best)
1/4 cup half-and-half cream or 1/4 cup milk

salt and pepper

Steps:

In a small 2-cup mini food processor, process/mince the anchovy fillets and garlic together until finely minced (do this together and firstly, otherwise it will not get minced properly with the other ingredients).

Adjust seasonings to taste.
Thin with buttermilk (or milk) for a thinner consistency if desired.

KITTENCAL'S MARINARA PASTA SAUCE (VEGETARIAN)

Kittencal's Marinara Pasta Sauce (Vegetarian) image

This is a basic simple marinara but big on flavor, it can be ready in 1 hour or you can cook it longer and even tastes better the next day that is why I strongly suggest to make this sauce 1-3 days ahead and refrigerate as the flavors will blend and intensify ---this freezes well so make a double recipe and freeze a batch for the next meal, you may omit the wine but I strongly suggest to add it in, it really adds flavor to the sauce --- please make certain to purchase only good-quality canned Italian Roma (plum) tomatoes for this it will make a huge difference to the flavor of the sauce --- all ingredients may be adjusted to suit taste, this sauce can also be simmered for a longer time in a crockpot, throw in some fresh mushrooms also if desired --- also see my recipe#71273

Categories Sauces

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 -4 tablespoons olive oil (I use enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of my pot)
1 large onion, chopped
4 -6 garlic cloves, minced (or to taste, the more the better I use 6 extra large cloves)
1 tablespoon dried basil (rubbed between fingers to release flavor)
2 teaspoons dried oregano (rubbed between fingers to release flavor)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional or adjust to taste)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste (can use two cans for a thicker richer sauce if desired)
1 (28 ounce) can whole roma tomatoes, undrained (break up with a fork before cooking, go ahead and use two cans if desired!)
1/3-1/2 cup dry red wine (you may omit if desired but good to add in, can use white wine)
2 teaspoons sugar (optional or to taste)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste, a good tomato sauce needs lots so don't be shy with the salt)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

In a heavy-bottomed stockpot or Dutch oven heat oil over medium-high heat.
Add in onions, garlic and dried red pepper flakes, basil and oregano; saute for about 3-4 minutes.
Add in the tomato paste and stir for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the Roma tomatoes with juice and wine; simmer uncovered over low heat for 1-2 hours (I usually cook it for at least a couple of hours) stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper and add in sugar if desired.
**NOTE** if you prefer a thinner sauce, then add in some water.

Tips:

Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
Shred the cabbage and carrots as thinly as possible.
Use a variety of vegetables to add color and flavor to the coleslaw. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, and red onion.
Make the dressing ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld.
For a tangier coleslaw, use vinegar with a higher acidity, such as apple cider vinegar or white vinegar.
For a sweeter coleslaw, use vinegar with a lower acidity, such as rice vinegar or champagne vinegar.
Add some herbs or spices to the coleslaw for extra flavor. Some good options include dill, parsley, thyme, cumin, and paprika.
Serve the coleslaw immediately or chill it for later.
