Description

This recipe is very easy to follow and does not require much effort or strength. However, it include of 70% vinegar essence, to kick-start the fermentation process.

Ingredients

1 medium green cabbage
1 liter pre-boiled, cooled water
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp vinegar essence (70%)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 dry bay leaves
6 peppercorns
3 cloves garlic

Directions

1. Remove any brown or wilted leaves on the outside of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage head into 6 pieces and remove the thick stems at the core. In a large bowl (or a container) place the cabbage pieces, making sure they fit snugly.

2. In a medium bowl prep the brine by adding the pre-boiled and cooled water, salt, sugar, 70% vinegar, oil, bay leaves, peppercorns. Mix all the spices well.

3. Cover the cabbages (not the container) with a lid or a big enough plate. It should be just big enough to cover the cabbages and keep them under press when something put on top. Now, find something which can be used as a pressing tool and can be placed on top of the lid. I used my 10-lb dumbbell, which was perfect.

Enjoy and let me know how yours turned out.
