Beerlligerent Russian Slaw
​
1 small head of cabbage, grated about 6-7 cups
1/2 C shallots, grated
1 Tbs salt
1 carrot, shredded
3/4 C tartar sauce
1/4 C ketchup
1 1/2 Tbs pale ale
1 1/2 Tbs shallot grated
1/2 Tbs lemon
1/2 Tbs worcestershire
In a large bowl, combine cabbage, shallot and salt. Let sit in a sieve over a bowl for an hour. This will draw out the moisture in the cabbage to keep it crisp, keep the dressing from getting diluted, and furthermore it stops this from becoming a watery mess the next day. Let sit for about an hour, or so.
Squeeze out all of the extra moisture and add the carrots. In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients. Slowly mix in the dressing a little at a time, making sure to cover, but not saturate the slaw. You can use the remaining dressing to spread on bread for your sandwich!
