PICKLEBACK SLAW

Those artisanal pickles from the farmers' market sure are expensive, so don't throw out the juice in which they're pickled. You can serve the stuff as a shot to accompany a glass of whiskey and a cold beer, as the New York chef Zakary Pelaccio has done, or you can whisk it into the dressing used for coleslaw, as is done here. Don't have any? Never fear: a few tablespoons of relish from the market will offer a similar effect.

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small head green cabbage
1 small head red cabbage
2 carrots, peeled and grated
2 tart apples, like Granny Smith, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1/2 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade or Hellmann's
3 tablespoons juice from a pickle jar, or of pickle relish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons pepper sauce, like Frank's, or to taste
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the cabbages in half and remove the core from each side. Cut each half in half and slice each resulting quarter into thin ribbons. Mix with carrots and apples in a large nonreactive bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
  • Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss. Season to taste. The coleslaw may be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. Toss again before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly so that it will absorb the pickling liquid more easily.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, and onion.
  • Be sure to taste the pickling liquid before adding it to the coleslaw. It should be sweet and tangy, but not too vinegary.
  • Let the coleslaw marinate in the pickling liquid for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the coleslaw chilled as a side dish or on top of sandwiches and tacos.

Conclusion:

Lowcountry pickled coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new coleslaw recipe, give this one a try!
