German Cole Slaw
(Krautsalat)
Ingredients:
4 cups cabbage shredded and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
Dressing :
1 /4 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon teaspoon Dill weed or celery seed
1 / 2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
other vegetables :
1 tablespoon chopped onion
2 Tablespoons chopped bell pepper.
Directions:
1. This technique I learned from a German Chef who called it Gestamphe salad,
or pounded german cabbage salad. You work the cabbage with the salt and it
breaks down the cabbage structure and it's juices naturally. You get a better
texture and it doesn't weep, causing the dressing to be diluted.
2. Here is about 4 cups of chopped cabbage. I work the cabbage with salt with
my hands
3. I let the cabbage sit on the board for about 15 minutes and you can see how
much water is already coming out of the cabbage.
4. You can see the texture of the cabbage had begun to break down a bit. It is
still crunchy but just the right amount. I squeeze out the water and put it in
a bowl to dress.
5. Assemble the dressing ingredients.
6. Add to the shredded cabbage, and mix. Add chopped onions or bell pepper if
you want. You can also add a few Tablespoons of cream or sour cream
Cooked German Cole Slaw
Ingredients:
4 cups cabbage shredded and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
Dressing :
1 /4 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon teaspoon dill weed or celery seed
1 / 2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
other vegetables :
1 tablespoon chopped onion
2 Tablespoons chopped bell pepper.
Directions:
(Prep)
Shred the cabbage. This is a mandoline that I like to use. I always gaurd my
fingers with the either the holder it comes with or I put a clean towel on top.
I usually leave the last inch or so, and hand chop it, for further safety.
Hand chopping the cabbage with a knife also works well.
1. Mix the salt and sugar with the cabbage in a microwave proof bowl. Cover and
cook on high for 30 seconds..
2. Stir and cook 15 seconds more. If the cabbage has reduced it's volume by
half then it is ready. IF not repeat this step till it does.
Drain off the excess water in a strainer or colander.
3. Assemble the dressing. Add to the cabbage and taste.
4. Add chopped onions or bell pepper if you want. You can also add a few
Tablespoons of cream or sour cream
