Instant Pickled Cabbage

by Editorial Staff

Delicious instant pickled cabbage. Cabbage salad marinated in this way can be eaten after 5-6 hours. The marinade is well balanced, without excess vinegar. The cabbage is crispy, aromatic and, I would say, tender!

  3. Chop the carrots using a special attachment or grate on a coarse grater.
  4. Grate the garlic on a fine grater.
  5. Combine cabbage, peppers, carrots and garlic. Mix all ingredients well.
  6. Add apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil to the marinade, mix everything. Pour the hot marinade over the cabbage. Put the cabbage in jars and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours or overnight. Personally, I like this cabbage best after two days of pickling. During this time, it becomes well marinated, crispy and very tasty.
