🥘 Main ingredients

  • Red cabbage
  • White cabbage
  • Olive oil
  • BBQ sauce
  • Onion
  • Carrots
  • lime
  • vegan mayonnaise
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Cayenne pepper
  • salt and pepper

🔪 Instructions

For digestive reasons I always prefer to cook any cabbages instead of using them raw. With this recipe the cabbages are pre-roasted, and this releases already those beautiful BBQ type of flavours. The texture still keeps a bit of crunchiness, which blends nicely with the addition of the raw sliced carrots in the coleslaw. The onions give it its strong flavour and juicy crunch. If you happen to have some pickled red onions leftover. Top the BBQ coleslaw with these, it will add a nice additional bit of acidity.

For the BBQ sauce you can just hop to the shop. But making your own BBQ sauce is really easy , and so much healthier. For the most healthy option use a home made tomato puree instead of ketchup. Same story for the mayonnaise. I know there are lots of vegan mayonnaises on the market, but really making your own makes such an enormous difference! Very handy as it has a long shelf-life, so you can make a big pot and just keep it in your fridge for a month (or even longer).

Enjoy your BBQ coleslaw on its own with some fresh bread or add it to your great veggie burger, or to some baked falafels.

There is a short instruction video in the recipe card.

You can add some extra tang by adding more lemon or lime in the dressing. Make sure to add @haricoco1 to your Instagram posts using this BBQ coleslaw. So we can share our ideas. Enjoy!!

Notes

This coleslaw is great as a side dish, or you add some on your favourite vegan burgers. You can enjoy it as a lunch with some nice home-made bread. The BBQ sauce you can make as hot or mild as you wish. For the healthier option use the one with home-made tomato puree. Vegan mayonnaise is easy to make yourself, and tastier than the shop bought vegan mayonnaise. Please look up my vegan mayonnaise recipe.
This coleslaw can be made in advance, it only gets better with a little bit of time…
