Ok, I think I've FINALLY perfected this so it suits my taste buds.
As some may recall, I was on a mission to find a recipe for a cole slaw
I have eaten (oh, 4 times now) since visiting La Cabana in Indianapolis
with my good friend George Starkey. The slaw served at La Cabana is
Salvadoran and is called Curtido. You can find a VERY GOOD version of
this at http://recipes.alastra.com called "Curtido Salvadoreno"
I used the above mentioned recipe as a base and went from there.
Notice, as always, garlic is an ever present ingredient in my recipes.
Ted's Jalapeno Cole Slaw
Slaw:
1 - 8oz bag cole slaw (found in produce section)
2 to 3 - jalapenos (fresh please)
1 - clove garlic, minced
1 - very small onion diced (should barely be 1/4 cup)
Dressing:
1/2 - tsp oregano (fresh please)
1/2 - tsp sesame chile oil
1 - tsp brown sugar
1/4 - cup white vinegar
1/2 - cup water
Slaw notes: julienne your jalapenos THINLY. Should be slivers. Once
they are juilenned, stack and cut in half.
Dressing notes: For the chile oil, Dynasty brand found in your grocery
will do...be sure to shake well before measuring. If you don't like
sesame oil, then omit that and use regular chile oil.
Mix slaw ingredients in bowl. Mix dressing ingredients in a separate
bowl. Once dressing ingredients are well mixed, pour on top of slaw
and mix well. Cover and let rest overnight in fridge. Serve cold.
If you are prone to have a sweet tooth, double the brown sugar. ;-)
Bon Appetit!
