Spicy Slaw

This spicy coleslaw is a great way to liven up a simple poached chicken, steak or piece of grilled fish. It’s also delicious on a sandwich with a hard cheese (like cheddar) or a fried egg. I like chardonnay with the richness of mayonnaise, but prefer something more like a Chablis than the typical Aussie chardonnay, Scott Wines elegant Piccadilly Valley chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills is just the thing. See video below for a classic (less spicy) coleslaw.
