Best Hot Slaw A La Greyhound Grill Recipes
HOT SLAW, MEXICAN-STYLE
Put a couple of whole cabbages over a hot fire on a grill, and leave them there, turning every few minutes when you get a chance, until they look like something tragic and ruined. You don't need to season them, or oil them, or remove the thick outer leaves the way you'd do if you were cooking them lightly or shredding them raw. You just need to burn them, slowly and deeply, so that they soften within and take on the flavor of fire. When you've got the cabbages good and blistered, put them on a cutting board, remove the charred exteriors and cut out the cores, then slice the remaining cabbage into shreds. Dress with crema, store-bought or home-made, along with chopped cilantro, some chipotle en adobo and lime juice. It makes for a slaw that goes with almost anything grilled.

Steps:
- Make the crema the night before, or many nights before, the day you want to cook.
- When you are ready to make the slaw, build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals, or set one burner of a gas grill to high. When the fire is ready, place the cabbages, whole, onto the fire or over the open burner, and allow them to roast in the heat of the open flames, turning them every few minutes and allowing them to rest occasionally on the cooler side of the grill, until they are blackened, blistered and a little soft to the touch, approximately 30 to 45 minutes. You are not looking to incinerate them so much as to cook them aggressively. You will discard most of the burned exterior.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk the cilantro into the crema in a bowl, and add the lime juice and, if you're using, adobo or hot sauce to taste, along with a little salt and pepper.
- When the cabbages are blackened and have softened to the point where you can insert a knife into each one fairly easily, remove them to a cutting board. Once they have cooled slightly, take off most of the blackened exterior leaves. Cut each cabbage in half, then use your knife to remove the cores. Slice the cabbage into thin strips, as for a coleslaw, and add them to a large serving bowl.
- Apply about 1/2 a cup of the crema to the sliced cabbage, and toss to combine. Continue adding crema until you have enough to coat all the cabbage, then taste and adjust seasonings. (You can save the rest of the crema for another use, keeping it in a closed jar in the refrigerator.) Serve with grilled meats or alone.

ABSOLUTELY BEST HOT SLAW RECIPE
This is the exact hot slaw recipe from the world famous Forest View Gardens that used to be in Cincinnati. Unfortunately the place closed down years ago but that won't stop you from recreating the exact recipe they used in your own kitchen! What I have below is precisely the quantities and procedure we used for large scale production for a lot of people. If you are doing a smaller party or dinner, you can adjust the amounts accordingly. Keep in mind that the excess dressing can be refrigerated. Tips: Do not let this hot slaw sit around with dressing in it. It must be fresh! Don't over fill the bowl with dressing. I personally like just enough dressing to wet the cabbage and bacon and not a drop more. Make a whole gallon of dressing and bacon bits and store what you don't use for later. At Forest View Gardens, we made 30 gallons of dressing and 200 pounds of bacon bits on Thursday and it lasted the whole week!

Steps:
- Fully cook bacon.
- While it is still hot, fill a food processor with bacon (do not add the grease to processor!) and chop it into coarse bits (If processor is not available, you should chop the bacon prior to cooking).
- Put hot chopped bacon in a strainer on a bowl to catch excess grease.
- Repeat until all bacon is chopped.
- Set bacon bits aside.
- Start with a Gallon container with a large mouth.
- Add sugar, vinegar, water, oil, salt, garlic.
- Stir with a large mixing spoon, making sure you get all the sugar off the bottom of the container.
- Heat the amount of dressing you plan on using on the stove on low heat or a steam table, stopping short of a boil (you will use 4-6 oz per serving).
- Fill salad bowls with shredded cabbage.
- Sprinkle about 2 tbsp of the fresh bacon bits on top of cabbage. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Immediately before serving, stir hot dressing well, then use a ladle to pour about 4-6 oz on the slaw making sure you thoroughly wet all the cabbage and bacon.
- Enjoy!
VERY GREEN COLESLAW WITH GRILLED POBLANOS
Either you hate coleslaw or it's a must for your cookout plate. As a condiment, it makes sauce-drenched chicken or pork taste even better, balancing out any spice. The grilled poblanos are what make the difference in this dish, which is adapted from the cookbook "Watermelon and Red Birds" by Nicole Taylor. It does wonders for a barbecue staple.

Steps:
- Prepare the slaw: Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high (400 degrees). Place the poblanos on the hot grill over direct heat. Cook until the skin is charred, 12 to 15 minutes, turning once or twice. (If using a gas grill, keep the grill covered between flips.) Transfer to a cutting board and let cool. Remove the stems and seeds then finely chop. (The poblanos can be grilled ahead. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to 1 day.)
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, celery seed and salt until combined, then gradually whisk in the olive oil until well blended. Whisk in the hot sauce, if using.
- Finish the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, chopped poblanos, scallions, vinegar, sugar and salt; let stand for about 10 minutes. This process breaks down the cabbage and produces liquid. Feel free to pour off excess liquid before adding dressing. Add the dressing and toss until well combined and serve. The slaw can be made up to 2 days in advance. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. Pour off excess liquid before serving. Your cabbage should be tender with a crunch.
