Primanti Brothers Coleslaw Recipe
Servings: 8
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 cups shredded or finely chopped green cabbage (half of a medium-size head)
- 1/4 tsp celery seed
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Take a colander and set it over a medium bowl. Then, put the shredded cabbage into the colander and add sugar, salt, and celery seed. Mix everything together and let it rest for 1 to 4 hours. After that amount of time, the cabbage will be wilted and you will have about 4 cups left of it.
- Next, pour out the liquid that has collected in the bowl. Before you transfer the wilted cabbage there, rinse and dry the bowl.
- After you put the wilted cabbage into the bowl, add vegetable oil and apple cider vinegar. As a final step, season it with freshly ground black pepper, mix everything up, cover it, and put it in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.
Notes
- Too lazy to cut the cabbage by hand? Then you can also use a food processor to get a fine cut texture out of it.
- If you already know that you want to eat Primanti Brothers Coleslaw the next day, then you can prepare it a day before and keep it in the fridge overnight. It really adds a good texture and taste to it.
