Coleslaw

Coleslaw, the easiest and best way to eat cabbage in my opinion. How healthy you want it depends on how much sugar and mayo you add. This was really just hrown together in a few minutes as I was trying out the shredder function on my new food processor. If you like, you can blanch the cabbage first by dropping them in boiling water for a few minutes and then into icy water.
Ingredients (2-3 portions):
1/4 cabbage, outer leafs removed then shredded finely
3 carrots
4 tbsp mayonaise (go light if you want)
1 tbsp sweet mustard
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
4 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp coarse salt
freshly ground pepper

Shred the cabbage and carrots finely.

Mix in the rest ofthe ingredients. Leave over night, this is an important step as it will soften the cabbage and blend the flavours better.


Final result, perfect side dish with your american dishes.
