The best coleslaw ever

Sep 01, 2010 21:06

So, I realize, there are many differing opinions on the Brassica family. Most of them lean to the "all of these vegetables are fucking disgusting and why are you eating them?" Brassicas include broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cabbage.

I fucking love all three. So in the hopes of converting a few to the cause, I give you this recipe, modified from a Bon Appetit recipe.

The Best Fucking Coleslaw Ever
1c cabbage - sliced into thin slivers
1/2c sweet onion - sliced into thin slivers
1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp white balsamic vinegar (this vinegar will change your fucking life)
1 tbsp whole grain mustard (dijon will do)
1 tsp toasted mustard seeds
Salt & pepper to taste

1) Slice all your shit. Put it in a bowl. Toast your mustard seeds on medium heat until they start to pop. Put that in the bowl too.
2) Whisk together the oil, vinegar, and mustard. Pour it on top of your shit...I mean cabbage mixture. Stir it up. Taste, then season with salt & pepper (I typically use 1/4 tsp salt, probably the same of fresh ground pepper).

That's it. Seriously, best coleslaw ever, AND no mayo products, which means if you take it to a bbq, it's not going to spoil in the heat. May be kinda gross, but it won't kill anyone.

(edit: makes approx 2 servings this way, probably want to scale it up if you're taking it to a bbq)

recipes: way easy, drunk post
