Red Cabbage Coleslaw with corn & golden raisins.

Originally published Sept 2017.

This Red Cabbage Coleslaw was one Spouse and I put together last week when we had the family around for a Cold Plate lunch. It was a bit of a non-traditional version because I had made one of my summer favourites, Smoked Pork Loin.

That pork loin works incredibly well as a cold cuts for sandwiches too. I jokingly call it summer ham, because that’s kind of what it reminds me of.

I had smoked and entire centre loin of pork, including the sirloin end, which amounted to about an 8 pound roast. The smoked loin is best served thinly sliced, so I was very glad to have my electric meat slicer for the job. There was a whole turkey platter full of sliced pork at the end.

There was plenty to go around for the 15 we served at lunch that day. We shared the leftovers with some guests and with friends later in the day. We served potato and pasta salads as well, which also yielded leftovers to share.  This new coleslaw we had made though, was completely gobbled up!

Sliced Smoked Pork Loin

I think the sweetness of the corn and golden raisins along with the crunch of the cabbage and carrots, combined with the tangy coleslaw dressing is what made this such a winner. The texture and flavours worked very well together. 

This makes a great side dish addition to cold plates throughout the year or for a summer barbecue. Next time I make Pulled pork, I just night try it on those sandwiches too.
