This is coleslaw at its simplest and best. No onions. No carrots. No peppers. No mayonnaise. Just cabbage and peppery barbecue sauce
Vinegar Sauce:
Combine the vinegar, water, ketchup, brown sugar, salt hot pepper flakes and peppers in a nonreactive medium size bowl and whisk until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Taste for seasoning, adding sugar or salt as necessary; the sauce should be piquant but not quite sour. Makes about 4 cups.
Slaw:
1. Chop the cabbage fine by hand or shred on a mandoline or using the shredding disc of a food processor.
2. Place the cabbage in a large bowl and stir in the vinegar sauce. Let stand for 10 minutes. Then reseason, adding sauce or salt as needed. Makes about 6 cups.
