With pulled pork, a slow cooked beef brisket, a freshly grilled piece of fish or just alongside a burger, coleslaw is such a versatile staple salad. But have you made your own?
Thermomix® owners generally say a resounding ‘Yes!’, as for so long it was one of the dishes that we consultants showcased during in home demonstrations. It’s so quick and easy to throw together and chop in the bowl that I call it one of the ‘5 Second Salads‘. And now that the Cutter is in town, gone is the chopped up look and back is the commonly known grated coleslaw.
But for those who don’t (yet!) have a Thermomix®? I use a Mandolin (from IKEA, or Tupperware) and while it takes a little longer than five seconds, the result is just as fresh and delicious and perfect to share at the dinner table as one of your favourite sides.
