Steps:
- 1. Shred cabbage if not already shredded and add to a large bowl.
- 2. Chop Red bell peppers & add to bowl, toss to mix.
- 3. Chop Green Onions and Green Bell Peppers, add to bowl, & toss together with slaw.
- 4. Chop and add the red onions tossing together after adding. I prefer to use long metal tongs.
- 5. Add oil, sugar, & vinegar to a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil, all the while whisking with wire whisk to dissolve sugar. Then boil an additional 2 minutes all the while stirring, then remove from heat.
- 6. Gradually and carefully pour hot mixture over the cabbage, and toss to coat, turning with tongs as you go to assure all is mixed together. Refrigerate until slaw is completely cooled for better flavor.
- 7. This is the book of the original recipe "BIG MAMA'S OLD BLACK POT BY Ethel Rayson Dixon.
- 8. Add slaw to a large bowl, garnish as desired, and serve. This was excellent with MyLemon Pepper Panko Salmon Croquette Patties and Cajun Seafood Aioli Sauce. You may like it too, so give it a try.
