Cole slaw

The original Dutch recipe for koolsla, hot simmered cabbage with oil and vinegar, was taken and transformed by American settlers into a chilled salad that soon became the main attraction of every party. In spite of the main ingredient being cabbage, it shouldn’t taste of cabbage alone, but more like a dressy, spicy, creamy, refreshing salady thing. Top with a few barbecued prawns, a lobster salad, or grilled salmon for a classy meal.
