This is a tangy marinated type slaw. It gets its name from the hot peppers in it and the hot oil that’s poured over the vegetables. Best thing about it - you can eat it right away.
Ingredients
- 1 small head of cabbage (~ 1 pound)
- 1 ½ cups peeled and shredded carrots
- ½ red bell pepper - seeded and diced
- 1 heaping tablespoon sweet onions
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
- ½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- ¼ cup canola oil
Directions
Finely shred the cabbage and place it in a large bowl. Pile the shredded carrots on top of the cabbage and follow with the bell peppers and onions.
In a small bowl, mix together the vinegars, sugar, salt, mustard, and hot pepper sauce. Pour over the vegetables.
In a small pan, heat the oil to just smoking (you will be able to see a few ripples in the oil). Pour the hot oil over the vegetables; especially trying to hit the onions and peppers. Let sit for 4 minutes; then toss and serve or refrigerate for later.
