SPICY PEANUT COLESLAW LIKE ARMADILLO WILLY'S



Spicy Peanut Coleslaw Like Armadillo Willy's image

Not sure how many restaurants Armadillo Willy's have, but the one I usually go to is their original one and the one I've been going for something like 30 years. It's a BBQ restaurant with what I think of as one of the better tasting BBQ around. They also have this coleslaw that I really like. I've seen other clones but the one near us do not have onion, apple, green onion in their's. Taking it apart, it is chopped green cabbage with some red cabbage for color only, small amount of shredded carrots, cilantro and peanuts. What makes this coleslaw tasty is the spiciness. I've experimented with this dressing and it's not 100% there yet to the original one, but it's getting awfully close. The way most of these smaller places work is they incorporate what's available to them in their side offerings. And the cost is something they must look at. They keep 2-3 types of hot sauces for you to take to the table and I think that's where the spiciness is coming from.

Categories     Fruit

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 head green cabbage, finely shredded (about 1 lb)
1/4 head red cabbage or 1/4 head purple cabbage, finely shredded
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons smooth natural-style peanut butter
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar, to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon minced seeded jalapeno, to taste (optional)
2 medium kohlrabi, bulbs peeled and grated (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
1/4 cup julienned water chestnut
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dried currant (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste
roasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Toss the cabbages and carrot with 1 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl or in the sink; let it stand until the cabbage wilts, which will take between 1 to 4 hours.
  • Rinse the cabbage under cold running water (if you're serving the slaw immediately, rinse under water and then in a large bowl of ice water to chill).
  • Press gently to drain then pat dry with paper towels; cabbage can be stored overnight in refrigerator to chill in a re-sealable container.
  • To make the dressing, in a food processor purée together the peanut butter, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, cayenne, and jalapeno (if using) until smooth (taste it at this point to see if you want to add more cayenne or jalapeno).
  • Toss the dressing with the cabbage, carrot, grated kohlrabi, water chestnuts, and green onions (and the currants, if using - they add nice little surprising bits of sweetness to the slaw!) together in a bowl.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Cover, and refrigerate until chilled and ready to serve; garnish with sesame seeds.
  • Makes about 6 cups, serving 6 to 8.
  • Note: you can also make the slaw without wilting the cabbage/carrot in the 1 tsp of salt - it's up to you. You might try it both ways to see which you prefer.

CREAMY & SPICY COLESLAW



Creamy & Spicy Coleslaw image

There are few new recipe discoveries that are as big a hit as this one was when I served it the first time. If you like coleslaw and spicy food, this is the recipe for you to try. You can always adjust the spiciness to your own taste by adding more or less chile paste. The recipe is inspired by a Perla Meyers recipe which was posted in the Houston Chronicle. Whether you like the cabbage and carrots sliced, shredded, or finely minced - it makes no difference. You can purchase pre-sliced or shredded cabbage if you prefer. The prep time does not include slicing or chopping the vegetables, or the chill time.
