Cabbage Forever

On more than one occasion I have waxed poetic about the versatility and virtues of cabbage, but in the interest of brevity I'll avoid doing so here. I'll just present this as another example of why I bother to grow cabbages. This one was planted late and didn't reach the size of some of the others I grew this season. However, it is more than enough to produce several generous servings of coleslaw, which is great by itself, as a side dish or as a topping on shredded chicken or pulled pork sandwiches.

Baby It's Cole Inside

It doesn't take much cabbage to make a tasty coleslaw. And it can be as simple or as complex as you like. It can be spicy or plain. It can be sweet or savory. It can be coarse or fine. It can be... Well, you get the idea. And before I forget, when it's made from cabbage fresh from the garden, that just adds another dimension of taste that simply can't be duplicated by what you'll find in your local store. May I suggest that you try your slaw over a BBQ  pulled pork or BBQ shredded chicken sandwich? The taste and texture will up your sandwich game.
