Cooking Notes
A great make ahead pot luck dish - easily doubled or tripled. Bag the shredded vegetables, jar the dressing and mix at the party. I adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of my mayonnaise and increased the curry according to the freshness (or lack of) mine. Being served with lamb sandwiches for Super Bowl.
had some leftover fresh dill-finely chopped and added. WOW! was also out of two ingredients and subbed Aleppo pepper and red wine vinegar. perhaps a little sweeter than usual but really loved the Aleppo kick!
This is an absolutely wonderful recipe - easy and delicious. The combination of curry and tabasco is surprising, but so dang tasty. Cabbage is good for you and we've been making great headway routinely eating it over the years, mostly thanks to this recipe.
I love Jacques Pepin. He constantly shows us that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. This recipe is a great demonstration of that. This became our ‘go to’ coleslaw recipe this summer. Sometimes with tweaks, mostly not, depending on what’s in the fridge. Simple and tasty is a great combination!
I am from, and still live in, Texas and have had a lot of coleslaw in my lifetime. I was a bit curious about the curry and Tabasco. I made this using a 14 oz. bag of "Coleslaw Mix" (cabbage and carrots). Honestly, this is the best coleslaw I've ever had and this will probably be the only recipe I will ever make. It is great by itself, but it would be wonderful on fish tacos or burgers. The curry and Tabasco are not overpowering, but lend a perfect accompaniment to the other ingredients.
Great coleslaw, I'll forever make it this way. Curry and Tabasco flavors are really interesting but not overwhelming. I made it mostly as written except I used a bit less Tabasco. Wasn't sure how hot it would be and my family doesn't like things too spicy. I think the original quantity would be fine.
I changed it up by substituting champagne vinegar for the cider vinegar and instead of poppyseeds and sugar I added some caraway seeds.
So, you didn't make the recipe.
I used plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise and skipped the hot sauce. Will definitely make again!

The hot sauce and curry added makes it! I also added Kolrabi
