Peanut Slaw Recipes

CRUNCHY PEANUT COLESLAW

Steps:

• For dressing, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper until blended. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, cauliflower, celery, onion, green pepper and cucumber. Add dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle with peanuts.

ROASTED PEANUT SLAW

Steps:

• Toss the cabbage with the scallions, cilantro and peanuts. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk the vinegar, soy sauce, peanut butter, sesame oil and sugar together. Slowly whisk in the canola oil until dressing is emulsified.
• Toss the dressing with the cabbage and garnish with roasted peanuts before serving.
• Cook's Note: Feel free to use different types of cabbages to make this simple slaw.

MANGO-PEANUT SLAW

Steps:

• Whisk 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup hot mango chutney, the juice of 3 limes, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 to 1 finely chopped Thai chile in a large bowl. Add 8 cups shredded coleslaw mix, 1 julienned mango, 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper and 4 sliced scallions; toss. Refrigerate 2 hours. Toss with 1/2 cup fresh cilantro and 1/2 cup chopped peanuts before serving.

BRUCE'S SPICY PEANUT SLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine green and red cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, scallions, red onion, apple, garlic, and red-pepper flakes. Toss to combine. In a second medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, beer, sugar, lemon juice, and vinegar. Mix well. Stir into the vegetable mixture along with peanuts. Season with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice and vinegar, to taste.

SPICY PEANUT SLAW

Steps:

• Toss the cabbages and carrot with 1 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl or in the sink; let it stand until the cabbage wilts, which will take between 1 to 4 hours.
• Rinse the cabbage under cold running water (if you're serving the slaw immediately, rinse under water and then in a large bowl of ice water to chill).
• Press gently to drain then pat dry with paper towels; cabbage can be stored overnight in refrigerator to chill in a re-sealable container.
• To make the dressing, in a food processor purée together the peanut butter, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, cayenne, and jalapeno (if using) until smooth (taste it at this point to see if you want to add more cayenne or jalapeno).
• Toss the dressing with the cabbage, carrot, grated kohlrabi, water chestnuts, and green onions (and the currants, if using - they add nice little surprising bits of sweetness to the slaw!) together in a bowl.
• Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cover, and refrigerate until chilled and ready to serve; garnish with sesame seeds.
• Makes about 6 cups, serving 6 to 8.
• Note: you can also make the slaw without wilting the cabbage/carrot in the 1 tsp of salt - it's up to you. You might try it both ways to see which you prefer.

THE ELVIS PEANUT BUTTER BANANA BURGER

Steps:

• Heat a griddle over medium heat. Butter the inside slices of each burger bun, then toast in the skillet until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over low heat; pan-fry the bacon for 2 minutes, then increase heat to medium-high and continue to pan-fry until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes, turning often. Drain on paper towels and discard most of the bacon grease.
• Cut each banana lengthwise into long slices, about 4 inches in length. Pour the sugar into a small bowl, then add in the banana slices to coat both sides in sugar. Fry the banana slices in the same skillet over medium heat until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Cook the burgers on a griddle over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, seasoning with salt and pepper. Press down firmly with a spatula to flatten the patties as they cook. A thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
• To assemble the burgers, lay down the bottom half the burger bun and spread on 1 tablespoon peanut butter. Place a burger patty on top, then add another tablespoon of peanut butter. Top with 2 to 3 slices of caramelized bananas, then 2 to 3 pieces of bacon. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon honey, then place the remaining burger bun on top.
