Cabbage Slaw…

bgibson135

I sliced some raw cabbage thinly, and then cut those strips into smaller sections. I diced some sweet onion, and cut up some of the sweet bell pepper (purple) and a yellow/orange pepper (not hot, or not very hot), added some Duke’s Mayo, Splenda sweetener, garlic powder, celery seeds, Indian Long Pepper (ground) S&P, and a few drops of Lime juice and Avocado oil. I would have added some Half-n-Half, but what I had was spoiled. *This made a beautiful slaw and a tasty one.

I had a couple of thin boneless pork chops that I had cooked a couple of days ago. I used some sweet BBQ sauce on the pork chops & diced up some of the little red peppers (look like mall Patty Pan squash, but red) and onion. I ate two of the pork chops and had two left over.

Heated a slice of White Mountain Bread (about 10 seconds to warm & soften it). The pork chops, slaw and bread all worked really well together. The slaw was perfect with the pork chops. Also, I want to remember to try this again next year, if I can get the purple bell peppers (at Farmers Market – Lee’s Produce) and the yellow/orange peppers from the vendor that sells all those colorful peppers, both mild, hot and in between.

[04/27/25]: Funny how things develop. I am now eating either Sourdough bread (from Publix) or “Knock Your Sprouts Off” from Aldi’s. Tonight it was the Sourdough. I had broiled a couple of thick cut pork chops from Lee’s Fresh Market in Benson, North Carolina with some onion, orange bell pepper and jalapeno. And I had the Red Cabbage Slaw below, with the Mung bean sprouts. I also had some steamed cauliflower, savory, with Spicy Chili Crisp and Toasted Sesame Oil. That all works together! [end]

Red Cabbage Slaw

  • Red Cabbage (thinly sliced)
  • Sweet Onion (finely diced)
  • Mung bean sprouts
  • Dukes Mayo
  • Half-n-Half
  • Garlic powder
  • Fenugreek powder
  • Equal Sweetener
  • S&P

*I noted that one item I’ve left out of this recipe is the yellow corn. But I’ll make a link to the other Red Cabbage Slaw, because it looked better, but I recall that it didn’t have the right flavors to satisfy with the seared scallops and green pea mush. The above does satisfy.
