Farm Blog for Saturday July 11, 2020 Beyond Coleslaw

Posted on July 8th, 2020 by Judy Lessler

Summer seems to be devoted to hot dogs, hamburgers, and coleslaw. In my youth, I attended many a church supper with trays of fried chicken, sliced ham, deviled eggs, squash casseroles, coleslaw, and blackberry or peach cobbler.

Deviled eggs were my favorite, and I was only allowed to put two on my plate until everyone had been through the line. Left to my own wishes I would pile my plate with six deviled eggs and coleslaw.  But I only took two, lingered watching the line, and scowled at people who took more than two. As soon as the last person had gone down the row of food, I immediately rushed to the trays of deviled eggs and more or less cleaned them out. Alas, often the trays were empty. 

 I still love coleslaw and deviled eggs, but lately have become partial to curried dishes. Check out this recipe for Curried Cabbage and Chicken. The use of boneless chicken makes it a quick recipe to prepare and coconut milk gives it a delicious richness. Serve it over rice with a cold cucumber salad.
