PICKLED COLESLAW

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, oil, sugar, mustard, and celery seed for dressing in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil.

LOWCOUNTRY PICKLED COLESLAW

Steps:

• Make the slaw: Put the chopped and diced vegetables in a bowl or other container that will fit in the refrigerator.
• Make the dressing: Crush the garlic, and with the side of a knife work the salt into the clove until it makes a rough paste. Add the garlic paste, ginger, vinegar, oil and 1/3 cup water to a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring now and then. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 1 or 2 minutes, then pour over the vegetables, tossing well to combine. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, toss with the lime juice and a few grinds of black pepper. Taste and add salt if needed.

OVERNIGHT SLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cabbage, onions and carrots; set aside. In a saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, mustard, celery seed, salt and pepper; bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in oil. Pour over cabbage mixture. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight; stir several times.

• Combine the cabbage, red onion, Chinese celery and pickles to taste in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix well. Taste and season with salt and pepper. For an extra kick of flavor, mix in some pickle juice if using to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
