Lindac Cole Slaw

16 years ago

Why does this always happen to me? I'm at the cottage, in the middle of making Lindac's cole slaw and I just remembered I gave my copy of her recipe to a friend who loved it.

I know it's cider vinegar, veg oil, dry mustard, celery seed and sugar but can't recall amounts.

If anyone has it I'd really appreciate the info. If not I think I can wing it.

Thanks

amazing I am crunching some as I read!
Cole Slaw, Fred Harvey's
Shred one medium head of cabbage and one medium onion (use the 1 mm slicing blade on the Cuisinart)
Add 1/2 c. sugar
Heat together 1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 cup peanut oil (I use canola)
1/2 c cider vinegar
1 tsp celery seed
Pour over cabbage, stir and let sit at least 4 hours I sometimes add black pepper and green pepper.
You can triple the recipe and only need to double the dressing.

Thanks Chase....I call it Fred Harveys' Cole slaw. It was given to me by a friend, Pat who got it out of the paper. I loved the recipe, made it for a huge party serving about 100 and got many compliments. But couldn't find the recipe again....called Pat, she didn't particularly like it so she tossed it. So I called the newspaper...and instead of just giving me the recipe, they published it again in the weekly food column... A few years passed....and AGAIN i lost the recipe! Called the Newspaper's food editor....and the next week there is was with a note that Linda C really likes this recipe but can't seem to keep from losing it, so please save it for her! LOL! As to Coleman's mustard....I have not tried Penzys, but any other brand is a long way from Colemans...bitter or not full flavored, or too hot... Coleman's is just right. Wish I hadn't planned on pasta for dinner, because Welsh Rarebit soulns wonderful....especially good with a plate of fresh sliced tomatoes....if only I had something other than green baseballs on my plants....

No advice on the roaster here either. Lindac's cole slaw is excellent if you like a vinegar based slaw. Cole Slaw, Fred Harvey's Shred one medium head of cabbage and one medium onion ( use the 1 mm slicing blade on the Cuisinart) Add 1/2 c. sugar Heat together 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp dry mustard 1/2 cup peanut oil ( I use canola) 1/2 c cider vinegar 1 tsp celery seed Pour over cabbage, stir and let sit at least 4 hours Linda's notes: I sometimes add black pepper and green pepper.

Cole slaw recipes?

I shred the cabbage very fine, or buy the already shredded called "Angel Hair". Add some very thinly sliced bell pepper, carrot, radishes, whatever you prefer. When making for the whole family I cheat and use bottled Cole Slaw dressing. There is a bottled poppy seed dressing that we all like a lot for cole slaw, too. I think the crushed pineapple would be good in this one, too, but would leave out the radishes and bell pepper if using pineapple. Or, I sprinkle the finely shredded cabbage with a little salt, a very little sugar, some celery seed and some mustard seed. Let it sit for a couple of hours, or even over night. When ready to serve, add a little white Balsamic vinegar and some vegetable oil, or oil of your choice. (I found olive oil to be too 'heavy' for this, but others may like it). Some white pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly. Sorry, I can't give measurements, I've never had any, I just do it kind of by gosh and by golly. But it has always come out good. Definitely some delicious sounding ideas here to try! Rusty

chloebud, I like horseradish a LOT and always think coleslaw is better with some "kick", either horseradish or mustard. I'm definitely making this soon. I did try growing horseradish and killed it. Three times. I'm trying again this spring, I think. I can grow the finicky things and manage to kill horseradish? That's just wrong, LOL. Annie

Linda C and Chase, do you ever cook country style pork ribs and if so do you cook them the same way? They have so much more meat on them.

Nope....if I want ribs I buy baby back....if I want BBQ pork I'll do a loin or a small shoulder ( slice off the butt) or even some chops...
BBQ ribs are not about the meat but the chewing off the bone....and the sauce and smoke....and the smaller the bits of meat on the bones the better the taste.
Oh dear....I wish I didn't have chicken in the oven.....

Idon't do country ribs either. Well not true, I do them now and again but I don't think of them as "ribs", more like pulled pork. For me ribs have to be baby backs, long slow dry cook and then finished on the grill basted with sauce.

I was just wondering, not meaning they were the same thing.
I agree they are more like pulled pork.
Thanks.

lindac, do you put it in the fridge for that 4 hours? Probably a dumb question... Sounds delicious!!

Thanks!

I make this great cole slaw without the sugar and it's still delicious.

Usually I refrigerate it during the "setting time"...but it will marinate faster on the counter if you are in a hurry.
