NEW ORLEANS COLESLAW

New Orleans Coleslaw image

This is my accompaniment of choice for the buttermilk chicken. Indeed, I have even converted fiercely committed anti-coleslawers with it. I can't remember why I call it my New Orleans Coleslaw now (I've been making it, or a version of it, for so long) but I think it has something to do with all the wonderful pecan trees I saw when I was there. Do serve a potato salad alongside if you want: you see, in the picture, some baby new potatoes doused in olive oil, salt and a little lime juice, shaken about in a mustard jar.

NUTTY COLESLAW

Nutty Coleslaw image

This is the best variation I have ever had of the Ramen Noodle Coleslaw. The red pepper gives the salad a delicate sweetness, the roasted nuts, seeds and noodles adds crunch and the proportions are so well balanced that you will be asked time and again for this recipe.

Ingredients

1/2 cup slivered almonds
3/4 cup sunflower seeds

1 (1 lb) package coleslaw mix
1 red pepper, chopped small

Combine cole slaw, peppers and onions in a large bowl.

It tastes best when this is allowed to marinade overnight but it is not necessary.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing more evenly.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage and carrots, or they will become mushy.
For a creamier slaw, use mayonnaise instead of sour cream in the dressing. You can also add a tablespoon or two of Dijon mustard for a bit of tang.
If you want a sweeter slaw, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
For a more savory slaw, add a tablespoon or two of crumbled bacon or chopped hard-boiled eggs to the dressing.
Cole slaw is a great make-ahead dish. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
