WARM BACON COLESLAW

Steps:

• To a bowl, mix the cabbages and carrots, set aside.
• To a small bowl whisk the apple cider vinegar, mustard, honey and celery seed, salt, pepper and arrowroot. Set aside.
• To a large sauté pan add the bacon over medium heat, cook until crispy. Remove and drain onto a paper towel reserving the drippings. Add the onion to the bacon drippings and cook over medium heat until they start to soften. Turn the heat down to medium low and grate in the garlic clove and stir to mix in, cook for 1 minute. Add the apple cider vinegar mixture and whisk to combine until thickened, turn off the heat. Add the onion sauce mix and cooked bacon to the cabbage and carrots and toss until mixed well.
• Serve warm.

HOT BACON - CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Fry bacon until crisp in very large pan; remove from pan, then saute onion in pan fat.
• While bacon and onion is frying, toss cabbage and carrots; set aside.
• Prepare dressing: mix vinegar, sugar, salt and mustard; add to onion in pan, stir until sugar dissolves.
• Add cabbage & carrots back into pan; stir until coated with sauce.
• Return bacon pieces to pan; toss in peanuts, if used.
• NOTE: DOUBLE the sauce ingredients if you like juicier slaws.
• SUGGESTION: Add more bacon and carrots for a Main Dish meal.

WARM SAVOY CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and add the bacon. Render the bacon over medium heat. Add the red onions, season with salt, and sweat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir to combine. Add the cabbage, cider vinegar, mustard seeds, thyme and bay leaves. Season with salt and taste. This will taste very vinegary but the salt will help offset the sharpness of the vinegar.
• Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cabbage is very soft. Remove the lid, add the apple cider and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until most of the vinegar has absorbed but the cabbage is still moist but not soupy. Serve right away or let it hang out in the refrigerator. It will probably be better in a couple of days. Garnish with chives.

COLESLAW WITH WARM BACON DRESSING

Steps:

• Slice cabbage into 1/4-1/2" strips. We used 6mm blade on the Cuisinart. Put into bowl.
• Cut bacon into pieces and put into a large pot. Cook until fat has rendered and the bacon is starting to crisp up.
• Add onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add chopped garlic and saute until onions are soft but not caramelized, approximately 3 more minutes.
• Add vinegar, sugar, mustard, chili powder, celery seed, salt and pepper to pan and mix well. Add cabbage, toss well and cook for 5-7 minutes til desired tenderness. I like mine with just a bit of crunch, but you can cook it until it suits your taste.
• Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
