How To Make Easy Pickled Red Cabbage
Description
The process begins by removing the core and shredding quartered red cabbage finely. The cabbage is combined in a jar or bowl with apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. After sealing or covering, the mixture is set aside at room temperature for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the cabbage to pickle sufficiently.
This pickled red cabbage retains some crunch while acquiring a tangy, slightly sweet flavor balanced by garlic and seasoning. It's a straightforward preparation that enhances the taste of sandwiches, wraps, tacos, burgers, or as a colorful side salad addition.
The pickled cabbage stores well in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks when kept tightly sealed, providing a ready-to-use tangy accessory for meals.
Ingredients
- ¼ red cabbage
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar 120 mL, or red wine vinegar
- ½ cup water 120 mL
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Cut: Remove the core from the cabbage then shred with a mandolin slicer or knife.
- Assemble: Add cabbage to a large glass jar or bowl, along with all other ingredients. Seal jar and shake, or simply stir bowl and cover.
- Pickle: Set on the counter for at least 2 hours (up to 6), shaking/stirring occasionally. Store tightly sealed in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. Serve over salads, wraps, tacos, or burgers!
