Episode: BBQ Across America











1 head green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups shredded carrots

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly cracked white pepper

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon dry mustard powder

2 teaspoons celery seeds

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup finely chopped green onion tops

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves



In a large, non-reactive bowl, combine the cabbage, bell pepper, onion and carrot, season with the salt and pepper and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour before proceeding.

Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard and celery seeds in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir the vinegar periodically to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat. Remove the cabbage from the refrigerator and pour the vinegar over the top of the cabbage. Add the oil, green onions and parsley, and toss well to thoroughly combine.



Cover with plastic wrap and return the cabbage to the refrigerator. Allow slaw to sit for 2 or 3 hours before serving, stirring occasionally. Serve with barbecue.

Chop up a medium sized head of cabbage... (it's better if you chop it - you want it sort of chunky) a bell pepper, and a medium onion, and mix it all together in a big bowl. Add some salt and pepper.



In a sauce pan, start out with 1 %26amp;1/2 cups of water, about 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1/2 cup of sugar, about 1 tsp mustard seed, and 1 tsp celery seed. Bring to a boil and pour over the cabbage mixture. Allow it to set for at least a couple of hours, then stir in a few handfuls of grated cheese.



The measurements on the vinegar mixture are only approximate. You can change it around and adjust it to your own taste.



~~~Choc dipped strawberries



Microwave Melting Chocolate:



In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips using either the defrost setting or 10-percent power in the microwave.

Microwave for about 1 minute, then check and stir. If you need more time, do it in 10-20 seconds intervals and check and stir after each addition of microwave time. Remove the container from the microwave and stir the chocolate until completely melted. Baking chips and baking chocolate may appear formed and un-melted after heating but will become fluid after stirring. Blend in cream, brandy, liqueur, or coffee.



How to dip: Hold the stem or green leaves of the strawberry and dip just part of it into the chocolate and swirl, to partially cover. Give the strawberry a little shake as you withdraw it from the chocolate (this will fill in all the cracks and leave a nice even line of of chocolate at the base.) When the strawberry is completely withdrawn from the chocolate, swirl it in a quick, clockwise motion to let the excess chocolate drip off. Place on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the rest of the strawberries.



Either place strawberries into a refrigerator or set aside to allow the chocolate to harden, about 30 minutes. Transfer fruit into a container. Keep cool until about 20 minutes before serving.

Best served at room temperature, to bring out the strawberry flavor.



Enjoy !
Reply:take and quarter a head of cabbage. thinly slice into strips. toss with some vinegar(either cider or white) and oil. slice some green olives stuffed with pimentoes.toss them in. cover securely and refrigerate. when you get there just before serving. shake the bowl really well to re- mix.



as far as the strawberries, slice or quarter. add a little sugar. mix well. refrigerate overnight( they'll make therie own juice) serve over shortcake or angel food cake slices with whipped cream
Reply:This is my tried and true strawberry recipe. It is wonderful and I am always asked to bring it. The last few times I made it, I made it with raspberries, which I think I like better.



It won't spoil but could melt if left directly in the sun.

Reply:I never use mayo. This is my recipe for cole slaw:

Shred cabbage very fine. I sometimes add red cabage for color. I slice very finely one green pepper and one red pepper, also for color. I chop finely either fresh parsley or cilantro, and use lots and lots of fresh garlic. Salt, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and some wine vinegar or fresh lime or lemon juice. That's it!
