Corky's Cole Slaw

Habanero Smoker · June 22, 2006, 08:20:04 AM

I spent the better part of the morning making Corky's Cole Slaw; a recipe posted by Sauce Bauce. It is on the recipe site. This is a good recipe. I made it using a one pound package of coleslaw (packaged shredded cabbage and carrots); and cut the recipe in half. I took Sauce's advise and cut down on the mayo. So while I cut the other ingredients in half, I only used 1/4 the suggested mayo (or 1/2 cup). Next time I'll add some horseradish.

That looks good Hab. Sounds like it's not too sweet and has a bit of tang to it. :P

Surprisingly, it was sweet, but not super sweet.

Here's one you might like Hab. Something I tried at a catering that went over well.
You could just use prepackaged slaw mix and add some spinach to make it easier.

Next time Mother makes her NON-mayonnaise cole slaw I will photo and give measurements. It is a lip smacker.

Iceman,
I have copied it and will give a try.

Olds,
Your mother's recipe sounds interesting. I'll try that also.

Hab; Thanks, you'll like it I'm sure.

Old's; Please do post that recipe for us. It sounds great. I just love trying new slaws. Now, if I just had a good kielbasa recipe to go with it. Ha! :D ;)

You can take that to the proverbial bank...Dang you Olds, you had to make me think about the Apple Cake.

I take about a tablespoon of grated red onion, add a pinch of sugar and ground jalepeno pepper to mine. The red onion adds another level of flavor you wouldn't normally expect.

Now that sounds real good. Just to raise it up one flavor notch is perfect. That is a must try.
