Slaw and Cornbread!
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
- 3 tblsp Ranch dip (Hidden Valley's to go packs are great for storing on the boat)
- 1-2 tsp pepper relish juice
- 1/2 tsp Mustard
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.
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)
