Mamas Classic Coleslaw Recipes

Steps:

• Toss together the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, honey and celery salt in a medium bowl. Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Remove and discard tough outer leaves from the green cabbage. Cut the head in half, cutting through the core. Use the tip of the knife to remove the core from both halves, then cut each half into quarters. Slice each quarter thinly into short strips. Repeat with the red cabbage and place both in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Add more sugar as desired. Toss the cabbage with half the dressing, then lay in a shallow dish (a 9-by-13-inch baking dish works well). Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Once cabbage has marinated in the dressing, taste and add reserved dressing as desired. Add the carrots and parsley and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Remove any bruised or damaged outer cabbage leaves. Halve through the stem, and remove the dense core with a sharp knife and discard. Put cut side down onto a chopping board, and slice as finely as you can into thin shreds. You can also do this on a mandoline (you might want to quarter before slicing) or in a food processor with the shredding attachment. Tip into a bowl.
• Grate the carrots on a box grater to coarsely shred, or cut into thin strips using a julienne peeled or the grater attachment on the food processor. Tip into the bowl. Finely slice the onion, and thin as you can, and add to the bowl with the other veg. Add the herbs if using. A mixture is nice if you have some to use up.
• In a jug, whisk the mustard, mayo, yogurt and vinegar. Season well, and taste for sharpness and creamy. Add more vinegar if you like.
• Tip the dressing into the veg bowl, and mix everything together well with a large spoon. Stir so all the veg gets coated lightly in the dressing. Sprinkle with a few pinches of paprika, and serve straight away. Can be covered and chilled for up to 3 days. Mix well before serving.

Steps:

• For the slaw: Combine the cabbage, carrots and red onions in a large bowl and toss gently.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, dry rub, vinegar, sugar and salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) in a bowl until smooth.
• Add the dressing to the slaw and toss gently until completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
• Combine the brown sugar and cornstarch in a bowl and mix by hand until the lumps are gone. (This is a great trick for preventing clumps in brown sugar.)
• Combine the paprika, garlic salt, seasoned salt, 1 cup of the brown sugar mixture, the granulated sugar, chili powder, black and white peppers, allspice, cayenne, cumin and mustard powder in a large bowl. Mix until well blended. Apply the rub liberally to meats with a shaker prior to smoking, for a true Kansas City BBQ taste.

Steps:

• In several large bowls, combine the cabbage and carrots. In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Stir into the cabbage mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Toss before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk together mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a small bowl. Refrigerate dressing, covered, until ready to use, or up to 2 days.
• Put cabbage, carrots, and onion (if desired) in a large bowl. Pour in dressing, and toss thoroughly. Refrigerate, covered, until slaw begins to soften, 1 to 2 hours. If not using immediately, refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days. Just before serving, toss coleslaw again.

Steps:

• Mix everything together and pour over your cabbage mixture.

Steps:

• Coarsely grate the carrot and finely shred the cabbage (use a food processor with a grating/ slicing blade or do it by hand) and tip into a bowl. Season with salt, then add the sugar and vinegar and toss everything together. Leave for 20 mins for the vegetables to very lightly pickle.
• Stir through the mustard and mayonnaise and add any other bits you want to, then serve. Can be made a day ahead and chilled.
