MEMPHIS STYLE MUSTARD COLESLAW RECIPE



Memphis Style Mustard Coleslaw Recipe image

This is THE most flavorful coleslaw recipe you'll ever try, I can promise you that. You've never had anything quite like this. Perfect with Memphis barbeque ribs or chicken (or whatever), you'll probably want to make this instead of your regular coleslaw for... well, forever. It's that good. You'll want to start this a day in advance if you have time. Because while taking the time to draw the extra liquid from the veggies really makes the texture of the final slaw, it does take some time to drain, rinse, and dry them

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head green cabbage, shredded (or 1 16 oz. bag coleslaw mix)
2 large carrots, shredded
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup chili sauce (can use ketchup in a pinch)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon celery seed
2/3 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Combine prepared vegetables (cabbage, carrot, jalepeño, and onion) and salt together in a strainer over the sink.
  • Let sit at least 15 minutes (1-2 hours is better) to drain. This keeps the finished slaw from being nasty and watery.
  • Rinse the vegetables under cold water and let dry. In a bowl or plastic bag, place in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to one day.
  • To make dressing, combine mustards, vinegar, chili sauce, mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and sugar in a medium, non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add celery seed. Reduce heat and simmer about 3-5 minutes, until sugar has dissolved.
  • Cool to room temperature. Pour over veggies in a large serving bowl. Mix well.
  • Refrigerate at least an hour before serving. Perfect on a Memphis barbeque pulled pork sandwich.

MEMPHIS QUE (PULLED PORK WITH MUSTARD COLE SLAW

There is more to Memphis BBQ than their dry rub ribs. This recipe is inspired by the pulled pork sandwiches at Leonard's Pit Barbecue, a favorite of locals since it opened in 1922.

Provided by ratherbeswimmin

Categories     Easy

Time 7h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (5 -7 lb) boston butt (bone-in pork shoulder roast)
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
10 -12 hamburger buns
barbecue sauce (your favorite tomato-based barbecue sauce)
1/2 large head green cabbage (or 1 small head)
1/2 red bell pepper
1/4 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or more to taste)
salt

Steps:

  • Make the slaw: remove the core from the cabbage and discard it; cut the cabbage into 8 chunks.
  • Finely chop the cabbage in a food processor using the metal blade and pulsing the motor (this is a chopped, not a sliced or slivered slaw); work in batches so as not to overcrowd the processor bowl.
  • Cut the bell pepper into the finest possible dice.
  • Add the mustard, mayonnaise, and sugar in a mixing bowl; whisk until smooth; whisk in the vinegar, celery seed, and black pepper; add in the chopped cabbage and diced bell pepper; stir to mix.
  • Taste for seasoning, add salt and more pepper if necessary; the slaw can be made up to 1 day ahead.
  • Make the pork: generously season the pork all over with salt and pepper.
  • Set up grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium (to be strictly authentic, you'd use charcoal; but can be made on a gas grill; if using charcoal grill, place a large drip pan in the center).
  • When ready to cook, place the pork skin side up, if there is one, in the center of the hot grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat; cover the grill.
  • Cook the pork until very tender, 4-5 hours; to test for doneness, use an instant-read meat thermometer; internal temperature should be about 195° (the cooking time will depend on the size of the Boston Butt and the heat of the grill).
  • If the pork starts to brown too much, cover it loosely with foil; if using a charcoal grill, every hour you will need to add 12 fresh coals to each side.
  • Transfer the cooked pork to a cutting board, cover it loosely with foil; let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Pull off the brown skin and finely chop it with a cleaver (these crispy bits are called brownies and they're indispensable for a proper Memphis pork sandwich).
  • Pull the pork into large pieces, discarding any bones or lumps of fat (wear gloves when doing this).
  • Using your fingertips or a fork, pull each piece of pork into thin shreds; or use a cleaver to finely chop it.
  • To serve: pile the pulled pork and brownies on the hamburger buns; top each with a mound of mustard slaw and, if desired, a dollop of barbecue sauce; serve.

NEELY'S COLESLAW

Provided by Sharon123

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 20m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small head green cabbage
1 small head red cabbage
4 carrots
1 medium yellow onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cut the cabbages into quarters, and remove the cores. Peel the carrots and onion, and slice them into pieces that will fit through the feed tube of a food processor. Fit the food processor with the large holed grater attachment, and push the cabbage, carrots, and onion through the feed tube to grate. Pour the vegetables into a large bowl, and toss to combine.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, black pepper, and cayenne in a medium bowl, whisking until the sugar is dissolved. Toss the coleslaw with the dressing, and season with salt and additional pepper to taste. Cover the slaw with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!

- Choose the freshest cabbage and carrots possible. Fresh vegetables will give your slaw the best flavor and texture. - Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the vegetables absorb the dressing evenly. - Don't overdress the slaw. A little dressing goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste. - Let the slaw rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. - Serve the slaw chilled. Mustard slaw is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least an hour before serving. Memphis mustard slaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet, tangy, or spicy, there is a Memphis mustard slaw recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give Memphis mustard slaw a try.
