LEXINGTON-STYLE RED COLESLAW RECIPE

In the Lexington, NC tradition, this slaw replaces the traditional mayonnaise base with ketchup, which, when mixed with sugar and hot sauce, results in a slaw with a flavor similar to the region's famous vinegary barbecue sauce.

I have always loved Lexington BBQ sauce, and after much experimenting, I believe I have finally mastered the sweet tang of Lexington sauce! Because my diet is strictly pork-free, I served this sauce with pulled chicken breast and my parents LOVED IT!

LEXINGTON-STYLE BBQ SAUCE



Lexington-Style Bbq Sauce image

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are adapted from Elizabeth Karmel's Web site, girlsatthegrill.com. The addition of ketchup in this slightly sweeter vinegar sauce distinguishes it from simpler Eastern North Carolina vinegar sauce. I prefer this sauce not only because I grew up with it-I like the added flavor and the pink color that the ketchup gives the sauce. To turn this sauce into an Eastern sauce, add 1 cup of water and eliminate the brown sugar and ketchup. This sauce is used to make North Carolina Style Pulled Pork and North Carolina Coleslaw . You will need to double this recipe to sauce both the meat and the slaw.
