Warm Cabbage Slaw With Bacon Dressing Recipes

COLESLAW WITH WARM BACON DRESSING

Steps:

• Slice cabbage into 1/4-1/2" strips. We used 6mm blade on the Cuisinart. Put into bowl.
• Cut bacon into pieces and put into a large pot. Cook until fat has rendered and the bacon is starting to crisp up.
• Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add chopped garlic and saute until onions are soft but not caramelized, approximately 3 more minutes.
• Add vinegar, sugar, mustard, chili powder, celery seed, salt and pepper to pan and mix well. Add cabbage, toss well and cook for 5-7 minutes til desired tenderness. I like mine with just a bit of crunch, but you can cook it until it suits your taste.
• Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

WARM SAVOY CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and add the bacon. Render the bacon over medium heat. Add the red onions, season with salt, and sweat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir to combine. Add the cabbage, cider vinegar, mustard seeds, thyme and bay leaves. Season with salt and taste. This will taste very vinegary but the salt will help offset the sharpness of the vinegar.
• Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cabbage is very soft. Remove the lid, add the apple cider and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until most of the vinegar has absorbed but the cabbage is still moist but not soupy. Serve right away or let it hang out in the refrigerator. It will probably be better in a couple of days. Garnish with chives.

ABSOLUTELY BEST HOT SLAW RECIPE

Steps:

• Fully cook bacon.
• While it is still hot, fill a food processor with bacon (do not add the grease to processor!) and chop it into coarse bits (If processor is not available, you should chop the bacon prior to cooking).
• Put hot chopped bacon in a strainer on a bowl to catch excess grease.
• Repeat until all bacon is chopped.
• Set bacon bits aside.
• Start with a Gallon container with a large mouth.
• Add sugar, vinegar, water, oil, salt, garlic.
• Stir with a large mixing spoon, making sure you get all the sugar off the bottom of the container.
• Heat the amount of dressing you plan on using on the stove on low heat or a steam table, stopping short of a boil (you will use 4-6 oz per serving).
• Fill salad bowls with shredded cabbage.
• Sprinkle about 2 tbsp of the fresh bacon bits on top of cabbage. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Immediately before serving, stir hot dressing well, then use a ladle to pour about 4-6 oz on the slaw making sure you thoroughly wet all the cabbage and bacon.
• Enjoy!
