Coleslaw

January 11, 2023  •  Category:

My world has now become enchilado (more on that in another post), so when I decided I wanted to make coleslaw, it was obvious I was going to find a way to add a chile or two somewhere.


So I did. A few jalapeños went into the processor (minus the seeds and stem). I also used a chipotle mayo and the classic garlic-lemon-olive oil  Lebanese dressing.

It was yummy and so practical to have on hand in a big bowl in the fridge, to dip into over several days  until the supply is exhausted.

    As a general observation (now that you have adopted Mexico City) you should have a way to take the outer skin off of any chile you buy fresh so that you can enjoy the essence without having to eat the armor that protects it. My preferred technique is to use a handheld propane torch to burn/char/sear/blister the outer skin until it is either totally burned up/off or blistered well enough to wipe/scrape/wash/scrub off with an appropriate tool. Not only does it make the chile more palateable, but it can add a smokey flavor as well. It also works with sweet peppers [you can see a demo for a red bell pepper at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpaCobUr4xo . If you are careful you can remove the skin and leave the stem on. If you are really good you can also remove the seeds without destroying the overall shape of the pepper (though I don’t attempt that with the torch).

      @marlene How sweet of you! 🙂 I LOVE this man! He provides much needed information and on a holistic level, much needed emotional boost for us, suffering as we have been from the colonized complex (at least that’s my take) and not valuing our own culture and history enough.
