Spicy Slaw

Put this on pulled pork sandwiches.

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 jalapeño peppers
• 1 lb carrots, sliced into matchsticks
• 1 head red cabbage, cored and sliced into thin strips
• 1 medium red onion, halved and sliced thin
• 1 bunch radishes, sliced thin
• 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 1 tsp mustard seed
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ¾ cup white wine vinegar

Preparation

Place all the vegetables in a large, heat proof bowl. Combine the water, vinegar, sugar, and spices in a medium saucepan. Bring to a full boil and remove from heat. Pour over the vegetables. Toss to coat evenly. Transfer the vegetables and liquid to a container with a lid and place in the fridge overnight. In a pinch, you can eat it after just a couple hours, but it's best to let it ferment.
