Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and throw away. Wash the cabbage and cut into quarters. Cut out the stalk in a wedge shape.
Cut the cabbage quarters in half lengthwise and plane or cut them into very fine strips on a kitchen slicer or knife. Place in a large bowl.
Clean and peel the carrots and grate them coarsely into cabbage. Peel and chop the onion. Mix everything with your hands and knead. This way the cabbage becomes softer.
For the sauce, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cabbage salad and sauce are best mixed well with your hands. Cover the Cole Slaw and chill for at least 4 hours.
If necessary, season again with salt, pepper and vinegar. Tastes great with veal shank, steak, burgers or spare ribs.
Cole Slaw with raisins & nuts: Wash 50 g raisins and pat dry. Coarsely chop 50 g hazelnut kernels. Fold both into the Cole Slaw.
