Recipe Introduction
This is the cole slaw that is served with the famous ribs at the Kaiserhof. It's been made the same way for years! One tip - use a head of cabbage rather than the store bought preshredded cabbage.
List of Ingredients
- 1 head of cabbage
- Salt
- Cup of sugar (scant)
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup of water
Instructions
- Shred the head of cabbage fairly fine. Again do not buy preshredded cabbage.
- Soak the shredded cabbage in salted water. (Fairly salty)
- Place the cabbage in the salted water in the fridge overnight.
- The next day mix together the sugar, white vinegar and water.
- Boil these three items and keep them boiling for 1 minute.
- Cool the vinegar mixture to room temp.
- While cooling squeeze out all the water from the cabbage.
- Now add the vinegar mixture to the shredded almost dry cabbage.
- Place back in the fridge for at least two or three hours. (longer is okay)
- Serve
Final Comments
Great summer side for BBQ or picnic.
