How do you Slaw ?

 

 

 

Slaw is fine partner to most grilled meats. However, why only Cabbage ? Most vegetables can be sliced in Julienne Match Box Stick form and dressed with a fresh acidic dressing.

 

Bon Appetit Magazine had a lovely feature on WELL DRESSED SLAWS ...

 

Here are a few suggestions and I am sure, you all have some great classic Grandmoms´ Slaws and Moms´ Slaws to share too ...

*** DRESSING RECIPES NOT INCLUDED ... PLEASE ASK IF INTERESTED ...

 

Look forward to hearing all about your SLAW recipes and dressings.

 

Kind regards.

I would truly enjoy Mrs. Tas´s Asian profile slaw. This sounds quite lovely.

 

I do not use bottled mayonnaise. I make my own or make an ali oli ...

 

The slaws I had come across from Bon Appetit do not employ Mayonnaise.

 

The fennel with green and red apple is quite lovely as well as the carrot with chili. 

 

I sometimes prepare a beetroot with orange one and use Greek Yogurt or a vinaigrette.

 

Best regards.

Marge.  

 

 

 

Thanks so much for your contribution.

 

Would you be kind enough, when you have some spare time, to post your Fennel Slaw recipe?

 

As you know, I am a Fennel enthusiast ...

 

Unfortunately, I am not too familiar with the other veggies you mention ... I have not seen them here yet ...

 

Jicama: I enjoy however, not easily  obtainable ...

 

Have great wkends.

Marge

 

 

 

 

No sooner said than done, Ron:

 

 

1 small head cabbage, shredded

1 green pepper, shredded

2 carrots, shredded

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup oil

1 tsp salt

1 tsp dry mustard

1 tsp celery seed

 

Combine sugar, vinegar, oil, salt, mustard and celery seed in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Simmer until sugar dissolves. Let cool.

 

Pour dressing over shredded veggies. Chill in fridge at least a couple of hours, but even better overnight.

 

Sounds interesting.

 

As we all know, Slaw can be prepared with a wide variety of vegetables including pickles sliced into match size stick forms.

 

Perhaps doing a Google Search, for Grange Roast Beef Suppers, and the organization or firm that created the suppers, may have a recipe. Can give it a try.

 

Does anybody know of a Pickle Slaw or have a recipe for Melissa ?

 

Thanks to all,

Marge.

Good evening.

 

I am sure chinese cab does do an interesting cole slaw. IN SPANISJ COL IS CABBAGE. Can u post ur mom´s ? 

 

got to run as it is 11pm in SPAIN and Filippo the Vet, my hubby, would like to  spend some time catching up as he just got in ...

 

thanks for understanding,

Marge

Latin caulis  stalk, cabbage

Old English cāl plant stalk, cabbage

Late Old English cawel

Also related to Italian cavolo, Spanish col, Old French chol, French chou, Swedish kal, Danish kaal, German kohl, Dutch kool

Slaw comes from the Dutch sla, which is a short form of salade, meaning salad.  The correct pronunciation of the Dutch kool is close to "coal" in English (not "cool"), so now you know where the Americanization "coleslaw" comes from (and who makes the best coleslaw .)  And kool definitely means cabbage, so there is no need to contaminate your coleslaw with broccoli, jicama, fennel, or other stuff that doesn't belong there!

 

THANKS SO MUCH for the recipes.

 

Col, pronounced coal, is the Spanish word for Green Cabbage.

 

The Magenta Red Violet variety of Cabbage is called Lombardia in Spanish.

 

Yes on the Dutch roots, and it has a Latin pronounciation; Off of the top of my think tank, due to the Spanish Royalty and the Dutch having had a long and sometimes warlike clash amongst themselves since the reign of Felipe II in the mid 1500s, languages and words, have somewhat linked a bit here and there.

 

Daikon: thank you for your research.

 

MT Man: thanks for your classic contribution.

 

Have a nice Sunday.

Marge.
