Smoked Coleslaw

Recipe Notes

  • Yield: Makes about 1 quart
  • Equipment: An aluminum foil drip pan; 1 cup wood chips or chunks, soaked in water to cover for 1 hour, then drained

Ingredients

  • 1 pound green cabbage (1/2 head), cored and shredded
  • 1/4 pound purple cabbage, cored and shredded, or more green cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s), or more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed

Recipe Steps

Step 1: Set up your grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium.

Step 2: Combine the green and purple cabbage and grated carrot in an aluminum foil drip pan and position in the center of the grill grate away from direct heat. Toss 1/2 cup of wood chips on each mound of coals. Cover the grill. Smoke the cabbage for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once. Do not allow the vegetables to cook. Remove from the grill and let cool. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: In the meantime, in a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, horseradish, sugar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and celery seed and whisk until smooth. Pour over the cabbage mixture and stir gently to coat. Cover and chill if not serving immediately.
