Sweet & Tangy Slaw
Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white vinegar
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 small carrot grated
1 med. cabbage shredded (about 8 -9 cups)
1 small mild Jalapeno finely diced with the seeds removed
1/2 medium yellow onion finely diced
Directions:
In a small saucepan, mix sugar, mustard seed, salt and vinegar. Heat at med. heat and stir until dissolves. Remove from heat and add olive oil and set aside.
To shred the cabbage by hand, cut the cabbage head in half and remove the core. Then place the cabbage cut side down on a cutting board and slice it thinly with a knife.
In a large bowl add the cabbage, grated carrot, jalapeno, and onion. Pour the warm dressing over all and toss. The cabbage will wilt as it soaks in the dressing. You can add more salt, sugar and pepper if you like. You can leave the slaw out at room temp. If serving the same day or if not you can refrigerate over night.
