Dill Pickle Coleslaw
By Traeger Kitchen
A splash of pickle brine (from a jar of dill pickles) adds a tangy punch to sweet coleslaw. Serve dill pickle coleslaw as a side to your favorite BBQ or pile it on pulled pork or fried chicken sandwiches. Salting and weighting the shredded cabbage draws out the water and makes it more crisp and flavorful so be sure to allow enough time (about 2 hours) for this step. The recipe makes about a quart and leftovers will keep in the fridge for a couple days, though it will soften some.

In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, pickle brine, vinegar, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Best Appetizers & Sides
From delectable starters to savoury accompaniments, we recommend serving at least one of these appetizers and sides with your main.
Korean-Inspired Pork Belly Burnt Ends
Give burnt ends an east Asian twist by cooking tender chunks of smoked pork belly in an aromatic barbecue sauce featuring ginger, garlic, and sesame oil plus two Korean pantry staples: gochujang (fermented hot pepper paste) and gochugaru (red chili pepper flakes). Once those ingredients are procured (check an Asian market if your supermarket doesn’t carry them), the sauce takes less than 30 minutes to make. (That said, you can save some time by substituting a good quality store-bought Korean barbecue sauce instead.) Serve the caramelized and sticky bites on their own as an appetizer, in tacos, on pizza, or in lettuce leaves with warm rice and kimchi for a fun make-your-own-wrap meal.
