ABSOLUTELY BEST HOT SLAW RECIPE



Absolutely BEST Hot Slaw Recipe image

This is the exact hot slaw recipe from the world famous Forest View Gardens that used to be in Cincinnati. Unfortunately the place closed down years ago but that won't stop you from recreating the exact recipe they used in your own kitchen! What I have below is precisely the quantities and procedure we used for large scale production for a lot of people. If you are doing a smaller party or dinner, you can adjust the amounts accordingly. Keep in mind that the excess dressing can be refrigerated. Tips: Do not let this hot slaw sit around with dressing in it. It must be fresh! Don't over fill the bowl with dressing. I personally like just enough dressing to wet the cabbage and bacon and not a drop more. Make a whole gallon of dressing and bacon bits and store what you don't use for later. At Forest View Gardens, we made 30 gallons of dressing and 200 pounds of bacon bits on Thursday and it lasted the whole week!

2 tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic

  • Fill salad bowls with shredded cabbage.
  • Sprinkle about 2 tbsp of the fresh bacon bits on top of cabbage. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Immediately before serving, stir hot dressing well, then use a ladle to pour about 4-6 oz on the slaw making sure you thoroughly wet all the cabbage and bacon.
  • Enjoy!

Being German my Grandmother makes this all the time because this is one of my Grandpa's favorite meals. Now that she is older I'm the one who makes it once every 2 weeks to bring over for the both of them to enjoy.

Juice of 1 lime
1 1/2 teaspoons raw cane sugar (white may be substituted)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste

RED HOT SLAW



Red Hot Slaw image

This is a fabulous wilted bacon cabbage slaw with a beautiful, bright color that is really delicious. (You can use green but the color isn't as vibrant, obviously.) Even our 3 year old loved it! And it is super easy with (probably) things you'd have in your kitchen. Easy and wonderful presentation AND delicious.

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small red cabbage, thinly shredded
4 slices lean bacon, diced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the cabbage in a large/wide heatproof serving bowl. It makes it easier to toss all the shredded cabbage.
  • In a skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat for 5 minutes or until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, then toss with the cabbage.
  • Discard all but around 3 tablespoons of the fat from the skillet. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes or until soft. Sprinkle the sugar over the top and cook 2 minutes longer or until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the vinegar and bring to a boil.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the water until smooth. Stir this mixture in to the skillet along with the salt and pepper. Return to a boil and cook 1 minute longer. Pour the mixture over the cabbage and toss well.
  • Cabbage should have a bright magenta color.
