Recipe in Rebus
Cook Time
Prep time: 20 min
Ready in: 20 min
Yields: 2 ½ -3 cups
Ingredients
- ½ head cabbage, sliced to ribbons
- 2-3 carrots, grated
- 1 bunch green onions, diced
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning, the kind for seafood & poultry
- to taste: salt & pepper
- 2-4 TBSP. mayonnaise, I like the olive oil based one by Best Foods
- dollop Dijon mustard
How to Do It:
- Slice cabbage into ribbons, and slice ribbons into thirds.
- Dice green onions, separating white dice from the green.
- Heat small amount of oil in pan. Add white diced onions to this and let saute for a minute or two.
- Deglaze with vinegar. Careful! It will spit!
- Add sugar. The sequence is important, because we're not looking for candied onions, but a gastrique.
- Cook down until the vinegar odor rising from pan stops--about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, place in bowl, and cool. I stack a small bowl on top of a bigger bowl of ice to expedite this.
- Grate carrots. I do this on top of a paper towel, so that when I'm finished, I can just fold away those irksome shreds & have a clean cutting board with minimal effort.
- Combine all veggies in bowl.
- Add mayo, gastrique, & mustard.
- Add Old Bay Seasoning & salt & pepper.
- Toss.
- Done!! :)
There it is there, then!
