LOWCOUNTRY PICKLED COLESLAW



Lowcountry Pickled Coleslaw image

Ben Moïse, a retired game warden in South Carolina, has been serving a version of this coleslaw at his Frogmore stew parties for years. The hot, boiled dressing softens the cabbage and pickles it slightly. The result is a salad that stays delicious even when it sits outside on a picnic table for a few hours. The amount of vegetables can vary, and a finely chopped jalapeño can be added for a little extra heat.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups chopped green cabbage (½-inch pieces)
2 cups chopped purple cabbage (½-inch pieces)
1/2 heaping cup chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
1/2 cup finely diced carrot
1/2 cup finely diced red bell or other sweet pepper
1 large clove garlic
1/2 tablespoon salt, more to taste
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 freshly squeezed lime
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the slaw: Put the chopped and diced vegetables in a bowl or other container that will fit in the refrigerator.
  • Make the dressing: Crush the garlic, and with the side of a knife work the salt into the clove until it makes a rough paste. Add the garlic paste, ginger, vinegar, oil and 1/3 cup water to a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring now and then. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 1 or 2 minutes, then pour over the vegetables, tossing well to combine. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  • Just before serving, toss with the lime juice and a few grinds of black pepper. Taste and add salt if needed.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them to absorb the pickle brine more evenly.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the shredding blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • You can use any type of vinegar for this recipe, but apple cider vinegar or white vinegar are good choices. Rice vinegar or white wine vinegar would work well too.
  • If you like your coleslaw a little sweeter, you can add a tablespoon or two of sugar to the pickle brine.
  • For a spicier coleslaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the pickle brine.
  • Let the coleslaw marinate in the pickle brine for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the flavors time to develop.
  • Serve the coleslaw as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or pork. It's also great on top of tacos or sandwiches.

Conclusion:

Pickled coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give pickled coleslaw a try!
