Ingredients

  • 2 lbs red abbage about 1/2 head
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 6 cloves garlic optional
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Thinly slice the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline. Place the cabbage in a large bowl and add the salt. Massage the cabbage for a few minutes, then set it aside for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, slice the garlic cloves (if using).
  3. Pack the cabbage tightly in a large mason jar (or a couple of small ones) and fill the jar with the red wine vinegar and water. Make sure the cabbage is submerged.
  4. Seal the lid and refrigerate. The pickled cabbage is ready after 24 hours.

Notes

  • The pickled cabbage is ready in 24 hours, however, I like to give it 2-3 days for more flavor and tang. 
  • You can add other spices such as cumin seeds or mustard seeds. Give it some heat with jalapenos or sliced ginger. 
  • Since the cabbage is not being fermented, it's not shelf-stable. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. 
  • Use pickled cabbage in wraps and sandwiches as well as bowls and salads.
