Hot Chow Chow is made the old fashioned way using cabbage, sweet red pepper, onions and a load of tasty spices. In the south, and particularly in the mountains where they grow huge heads of crisp cabbage, chow-chow is a favorite relish to be eaten with a bowl of pinto beans. Unlike most condiments, Chow-Chow retains a chunky (chopped) texture and is not pureed. The taste can be sweet, tangy, hot or a combination thereof. It is typically served cold and like many foods, there are various varieties with an increasing availability of “hot” versions. This Hot Chow Chow is named as such because of its inclusion of crushed red pepper seeds, don't let the hot fool you, this is a very mild heat chow chow.
