BBQ-Brethren Coleslaw Recipies

[IamMadMan]

The summer has started and around Memorial Day the is a lot of requests for coleslaw recipes. Here is some basic history on the dish and some recipes.

Over the years I have tried these and found them to be unique in their own manner. They have all been tested and are all worthy of being put on my table. There are many recipes in the forum, but these are the ones I have tested and saved.

I can vouch for some of the Patio Daddio formulations in your list.

Back in the day the Kentucky Fried Chicken coleslaw was the bomb, partially because the finely chopped texture was perfect for a pulled pork sandwich, and also because the flavor was great. I had to wheel and deal with the local franchise owner, but he allowed me to pre-order a few days ahead and would sell it by the 1/2 pound. One time I took him a big sloppy PP sandwich wrapped up in tin foil, and 3 or 4 ribs. Then he caught on.

Swine Spectator's Slaw

1 C Mayonnaise (Blue Plate preferred)
1/2 C Cider Vinegar
1/3 C Sugar
1 1/2 TBS Celery Seed
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 packages of shredded cabbage

Salt and pepper cabbage in a gallon zip lock. Set aside.
Blend remaining ingredients in a bowl. Pour over cabbage and mix. Marinate for 4 hours.

For me, the most important step in making slaw is to get the cabbage as finely shredded/grated as possible. The pre shredded stuff in the bags at your local grocery just doesn't cut it.

For something a little different sub Dukes hint of lime for the mayo.

They make a Duke's Light, and a Duke's Light with olive oil that I haven't tried but I would think might be a good fit for various salads.

I'm more of a Vine-Gar slaw person. But the Cock of the Walk slaw is pretty darn tasty. Also Ron L posted a recipe for the KFC clone recipe, also pretty good.

This is my go-to. Turns out a little lemony, which I like.

I read where Bob Evans Restaurants uses tarragon vinegar and a dash of Tabasco sauce
in their slaw recipe.

Thanks for putting this together Bob, I can see myself referencing it several times this summer!

The 'cock of the walk' recipe has been my go-to for years. I think the important tip to slaw is to allow it time to rest and for the cabbage to break down a bit. In my experience, it's almost always a 'this will be better tomorrow' dish.

I'm a fan of Guerry's Slaw. I miss that old cat.

Here's where I did it long ago.

And another thread on Coleslaw that first had Guerry's recipe.

 

[Bluebird]

Thanks for all these great recipes.

Don't know who it was but learned here about adding just a little horseradish to your slaw and it really takes it up a notch.

Also try adding some jalapeno to Neil's (Bigmista's) slaw that was listed first.

 

[Bury Me In Smoke]

Since I make maple syrup, maple syrup goes into my coleslaw, lol.

I do like the idea of adding some horseradish too, will have to give that a shot!

 

[Pife]

I make a variation of the Cock of the Walk. Heavier on sliced peppers and carrot.

You can buy a chef's knife + a food processor for $99.

Used to go fly-fishing with a really good cook. He'd bring his slaw bowl and ulu. Chef knife would be interesting in a bowl.
Your house your rules though.
