ALABAMA HOT SLAW

Category: Slaws

1 small cabbage, finely shredded (1 lb)
2 celery ribs, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 tbsp minced red onions
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1-2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1-2 tsp brown mustard
Tabasco sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Add the following ingredients to a large bowl in order listed (do not mix, just pile one on top of the next): cabbage, celery, carrots, bell pepper, and red onions.

In a smaller bowl, add the vinegar, sugar, and salt; whisk until clear. Add in the black pepper, mustard, and Tabasco to taste; stir to mix, then pour on the vegetables.

In a small skillet, heat the oil until it just begins to smoke. Pour hot oil over vegetables, aiming particularly for the onions and pepper. Let rest for 3-4 minutes. Toss and serve; may refrigerate for later use.
