About

This is one for ketchup heads, as it skips mayo and uses the red stuff all the way. Its sharpness makes it a perfect barbecue accompaniment, and it’s quite nice piled on top of pizza ‘n’ all.

Method

Shred the cabbage finely and soak in cold water (see handy hints). Whisk the ketchup, vinegar, chilli sauce, maple syrup, spices and salt to taste together. Once the cabbage is quite dry, mix it with the pecans, if using, and stir the dressing through it. This slaw benefits from an hour in the fridge before serving.
