Slaw and Cornbread!

Great dinner for a warm September evening in Santa Cruz.

Dave requested cornbread. What to pair with it? Since we needed to eat up the leftover chicken tenders from the night before I thought why not spice those up and make some cole slaw.

Skillet Corn Bread recipe adapted from atomvoyages

  • 1/2 cup flour, self rising
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tblsp dried eggs
  • 3 tblsp dried milk
  • 2 tblsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tblsp melted butter

Mix all the dry ingredients. Add the water and melted butter to form a thick batter. I melt the butter in the same pan I cook the bread. Pour batter into hot pan, forming a thick pancake. Cook over medium heat, flipping often to prevent burning. I make two "cakes" with this recipe (1 for me, 1 for Dave). Serve warm, with butter.

Crazy Love Slaw

Mix the above ingredients together in a bowl to taste. We bought the pepper relish at the San Fran ferry building farmers' market from Happy Quail Farms. The liquid from the pickled peppers added a nice sweet-sour for the slaw. I put just a dime size squirt of mustard.

A delicious pepper relish found in San Francisco.

Toss in the following chopped veggies (or whatever you have).

  • Green Cabbage
  • Carrot
  • Baby Red Onion
  • Padron peppers

I reheated the chicken before cooking the corn bread with a tiny amount of olive oil and a couple dashes of my chili seasoning*.

Perfect served outside with a setting sun.

Chili Seasoning*

  • Chili powder (3)
  • Cumin (1)
  • Cayenne pepper (a couple dashes)
