Red And Green Cabbage Slaw Recipes

RED AND GREEN CABBAGE SLAW WITH BACON

Steps:

• Toss the cabbages together in a large bowl; set aside. Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain; set aside. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon fat from skillet.
• Add caraway seeds to skillet, if desired; cook over medium heat, shaking skillet often, until seeds begin to pop, about 1 minute. Add oil and garlic; cook, stirring, 10 seconds (do not let garlic brown). Remove from heat; pour in vinegar. Add sugar and salt; stir until dissolved. Pour dressing over cabbage. Season with pepper. Toss thoroughly. Let stand at least 1 hour, or refrigerate, covered, overnight.
• Just before serving, cut apple into 1/4-inch-thick wedges or matchsticks, if desired. Add to dressed cabbage along with bacon, and toss again.

WARM RED AND GREEN CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Core, shred, wash and drain the cabbage. Toss it in a bowl with 3 teaspoons of salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Drain well. Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp, remove and set aside. Place 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in a skillet and discard the rest.
• Heat the fat over medium heat until hot. Add the cabbage and cook, turning it constantly, just until hot and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, caraway seeds, sugar and vinegar. Divide among 6 plates, top with bacon and serve.
