SIMPLE SLAW

Simple Slaw image

Clean and simple. Eight ingredients - apple cider, cider vinegar, cabbage, mustard seeds, celery seeds, sugar, salt and pepper to taste - combine into what ought to be a staple of your repertoire. You'll need to cook the cider down by half before using it, but everything else goes in raw, and the combination matures over the course of a few hours into a side dish that can accompany just about anything grilled or roasted, pulled or hacked.
