Smoked Cabbage Slaw With Creamy Horseradish Food

SMOKED CABBAGE SLAW WITH CREAMY HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Set up your smoker following the manufacturer's instructions and heat to 225 degrees. Add applewood or hickory wood as specified by the manufacturer. If using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect grilling, using half a chimney starter of coals instead of a full chimney. Add wood chips or chunks to the coals following the manufacturer's instructions.
• Meanwhile, peel and core the apple, then cut the cabbage, onion, apple and carrots into thin shreds on a mandolin, in a food processor fitted with a shredding or slicing disk, or with a chef's knife. Stir the raisins into the slaw. Working in batches if necessary, divide the mixture among 2 disposable 9-by-13-inch aluminum foil drip pans; spread in a loosely packed even layer. (Cabbage mixture should be no deeper than 1 inch.) Place each pan over another 9-by-13 aluminum pan of ice so the vegetables smoke without cooking.
• Transfer pans to the smoker or grill, cover and smoke until lightly bronzed with smoke but still raw, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer smoked slaw mixture to a large bowl and repeat as necessary to smoke any remaining slaw.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, vinegar, sugar, mustard and celery seed in another large bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stir the smoked vegetable mixture into the dressing; season to taste with salt, sugar and vinegar. Serve right away, or refrigerate, covered, up to a few hours before serving.
