[recipe] June Meyer's Hungarian Sour Cream Cole Slaw

[Guest guest]

Here is a cole slaw recipe i tried recently and loved.

i kept the name of the recipe as it was even though

i tweaked it a bit since June Meyer's Hungarian recipe

gave me the idea to use sour cream instead of mayo or

the oil & vinegar treatment. This is yummy.

If you are vegan just use Toffutti brand sour supreme;

that stuff is wonderful.

 

My notes of changes are in brackets:

 

June Meyer's Authentic Hungarian

Sour Cream Cole Slaw

(Tejfeles kaposztasalata)

 

* 1 cabbage head

[i used a mix of red & green cabbage with shredded carrots]

* 1/2 small onion

[i used 1/2 cup of minced green onions with tops]

* 2 Tbls. chopped green pepper

* good white vinegar

* 16 oz. real sour cream

* sugar [ i didn't add sugar]

* salt and pepper

[ i also added a few shakes of garlic powder]

* Paprika

 

Slice cabbage head into slaw.

Place slaw into bowl.

Mince 1/2 small onion and add to bowl.

Add 2 Tbls. chopped green pepper.

Add 3 Tbl. white vinegar.

Add 16 oz. real sour cream.

Add 1 tsp. sugar.

Add Salt, about 1/2 tsp.

 

Wash hands and take off rings. Place your hands into the slaw,

mix and squeeze the slaw so it makes some juice. This will make

the slaw limp. Taste, add more salt if needed. Add more vinegar

if more " bite " is wanted.

Sprinkle Paprika on top for beauty.

Refrigerate till serving time. Good the next day also.

Serves 4 to 6.

 

[ Okay, i confess i did NOT mix with my hands! *lol* ]
