\ud83e\udd6c Classic coleslaw revisited with a BBQ twist that changes everything<\/h3>\n

This recipe from my Tome 2 is my personal creation to transform classic coleslaw into something completely different. Instead of shredding raw cabbage like everyone else, I grill whole cabbage wedges and carrot pieces on the BBQ for 10 minutes. Just enough to give them a lightly caramelized smoky flavor without cooking them. The result? A fresh creamy cabbage salad but with that little grilled taste in the background that makes everyone wonder what makes it so good.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd25 The goal: smoky flavor, not cooking<\/h3>\n

This is the crucial nuance of this recipe. We DON’T want to cook the vegetables. We just want to give them a grilled flavor. 10 minutes on the BBQ at medium power after maximum preheating, turning regularly to mark each side well. The cabbage should stay crispy, just slightly softened on the edges, with those beautiful golden grill marks that transform the whole salad. The mayo and sour cream dressing with lemon, cider vinegar and celery salt completes the profile for a perfectly balanced creamy-acidic-smoky combo.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf56 The summer BBQ side that changes the routine<\/h3>\n

This is exactly the kind of recipe to have friends over on a Saturday night and impress with a simple technical detail. Serve this grilled cabbage salad with my bbq ribs<\/a>, my beer-roasted chicken on the bbq<\/a>, or use it in a pulled pork sandwich for something completely crazy good. The 2-hour refrigeration before serving is non-negotiable. It’s what allows the flavors to penetrate the cabbage and gives it its perfectly marinated texture. If you’re looking for the classic version without grilling, check out my creamy coleslaw with pancetta<\/a>. Its more traditional cousin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
