Cole Slaw: A Great Way to Get Your Raw Vegetables

Since I posted the pelau recipe and said that it goes good with cole slaw, I decided to post it today. A simple cole slaw not only makes the plate looks attractive, it also adds some extra raw vegetables to the meal.

Cole slaw is crunchy and goes perfect with pelau, a rice dish. However, you can pair it with other types of rice dishes, even plain rice that goes with a fish, meat, chicken or even a pork.

I prefer the cabbage and carrots sliced thinly, but not minced. You can slice the cabbage and carrots it with a sharp knife. Do that carefully if you have never chopped carrots or cabbage before. These two ingredients are quite firm.

Cole Slaw

Ingredients:

1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
1 small carrots, finely shredded
2 teaspoons mayonnaise (optional)
½ teaspoon mustard sauce
1 teaspon sugar
black pepper to taste

Direction:

Wash the cabbage and peel the carrots. Finely shred the cabbage and carrots. You can do this in a food processor or by hand. The cabbage and carrots will be finer and the mixture less crunchy than if you had chopped the ingredients by hand.

Mix the cabbage with the rest of the ingredients.

Serve with your favourite rice dish.

I served my cole slaw with another favourite, pelau.

This is too easy, it doesn’t even feel like a recipe, but don worry. Tomorrow, I’ll have that taken care of.

  1. Yep cole slaw is really cool with pelau and a perfect match for an ordinary dinner at home but not ordinary in that sense, it was really gourmet dish and increased my appetite for out of routine intakes of food, I am happy with it because I felt quite better and my stomach got lots of fiber wit raw cabbage and carrots stuff.

    Thanks a lot!

  2. Thx for all the recipes, its good that proper West Indian food is being put out there, rather than “caribbean” cooking, where people chuck mango and pineapple into everything and call it tropical. Any chance you could put up a recipe for pepper?

  3. Muhammad and figgy, thank you for your comments. I just wished other people could comment and get backlinks. Anyhow, Figgy, Pepper Sauce is in the plans I don’t know when I would post it because I already have a request for sugar cake so I would have to do your request afterward.

  4. mom and i make cole slaw regularly too
    well … ever so often
    we try different mustards and we have this horseradish sauce…oooh and vinegar, usually apple cider
    i’m usually in charge of making the dressing and as long as it’s tangy/tart mom’s good.

  5. Thanks for a marvelous post! I genuinely enjoyed reading it, you are a great author. I will remember to bookmark your blog and will come back later on. I want to encourage you to definitely continue your great job, have a nice day!
