Cooked German Cole Slaw

Ingredients:
4 cups cabbage shredded and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar

Dressing :
1 /4 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon teaspoon dill weed or celery seed
1 / 2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar

other vegetables :
1 tablespoon chopped onion
2 Tablespoons chopped bell pepper.

Directions:
(Prep)
Shred the cabbage. This is a mandoline that I like to use. I always gaurd my fingers with the either the holder it comes with or I put a clean towel on top. I usually leave the last inch or so, and hand chop it, for further safety.
Hand chopping the cabbage with a knife also works well.

1. Mix the salt and sugar with the cabbage in a microwave proof bowl. Cover and cook on high for 30 seconds..

2. Stir and cook 15 seconds more. If the cabbage has reduced it’s volume by half then it is ready. IF not repeat this step till it does.
Drain off the excess water in a strainer or colander.

3. Assemble the dressing. Add to the cabbage and taste.

4. Add chopped onions or bell pepper if you want. You can also add a few Tablespoons of cream or sour cream
