Hey everyone, I use this recipe to help create a sandwich famous in Pittsburgh. Begin with 1 lb finely shredded cabbage and add:
1/2 cup sugar
1.5 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Louisiana hot sauce
1/4 tsp celery seed
1 tsp coarse black pepper
The hot sauce is optional but not really. Many people like to wilt cabbage with sugar salt and celery seed for 2 hours but it's not necessary. Just let the slaw mix up for at least 1 hour.
