Ingredients
1 small head red cabbage, tough bottom ribs removed, shredded (about 6 cups)
2 bulbs fennel, cored and julienned
3 carrots, grated
2 Granny Smith apples, julienned
1 red onion, very thinly sliced
1 cup apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt
1 1/2 to 2 cups mayonnaise
2 to 3 tablespoons horseradish
Directions
Combine the cabbage, fennel, carrots, apples and onion in a large bowl. Douse with the vinegar, season with salt and let sit at least 1 hour. This will soften the cabbage and make it seem almost cooked, but it will still have a great texture.

Drain the cabbage of excess liquid but still keep it fairly juicy. Stir in the mayonnaise and horseradish. Taste for seasoning and add salt. The result should be a creamy and tart slaw.

Ingredients
1 fennel bulb, core removed, cut into quarters, and sliced very thinly, fronds reserved
1 cup thinly sliced purple cabbage
2 scallions, chopped
2 strips bacon, cooked crisp and chopped

For the dressing:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Toss the fennel, cabbage, scallions, and bacon together in a medium bowl. Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, fennel fronds, sugar, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a small bowl. Add the dressing to the slaw and toss to coat.

Ingredients
Extra-virgin olive oil
6 slices thick cut bacon, cut into lardons
2 red onions, julienned
Salt
3 carrots, peeled and grated
1 medium head savoy cabbage, thick ribs removed and shredded
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons, mustard seeds
1 thyme bundle, tied with string
4 bay leaves
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup apple cider
1 small bunch chives, cut into 2-inch pieces
Directions
Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and add the bacon. Render the bacon over medium heat. Add the red onions, season with salt, and sweat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir to combine. Add the cabbage, cider vinegar, mustard seeds, thyme and bay leaves. Season with salt and taste. This will taste very vinegary but the salt will help offset the sharpness of the vinegar.

Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cabbage is very soft. Remove the lid, add the apple cider and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until most of the vinegar has absorbed but the cabbage is still moist but not soupy. Serve right away or let it hang out in the refrigerator. It will probably be better in a couple of days. Garnish with chives.
