Recipe 1
Chop a medium-sized head of cabbage. Grate a couple of carrots and mix them well with the cabbage with your hands.

Squeeze out the food and place it in clean glass jars, weighing each portion down with a wooden block. Close the jars tightly with nylon lids and store in a cool place - for example, on the balcony.
Recipe 2
Chop the head of cabbage, add grated carrots - 1-2 pcs. Take a three-liter jar, put a bay leaf and a few black peppercorns on the bottom. Now put the cabbage and carrots in a jar. To prepare the brine, dissolve 100 g of salt and 30 g of granulated sugar in a liter of water. Pour brine over the cabbage, cover the jar with gauze or an inverted lid, and take it to the pantry or onto the balcony. Be patient for 3 days and look in the jar - the cabbage is ready!
Recipe 3: with beets
Cut 3 kg of cabbage into squares. Peel 1 kg of beets and cut into thinner slices, mix with cabbage. Now cook the marinade: bring 1 liter of water to a boil, add 7 black peppercorns and 5 allspice peas, add 2 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 3 bay leaves and boil this broth for 10 minutes over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and after a minute remove from heat. Pour the hot marinade into the bowl with the cabbage and beets. Mix well, transfer to clean jars and leave to ferment in a warm room.

Place in clean jars, alternating layers of cabbage with layers of cranberries and bay leaves. Tamp the cabbage well in the jars, press down on top with pressure. Leave the jars in a warm room and watch: when foam appears on the surface, you need to make several deep punctures with a wooden rod. After a week, the cabbage is ready, you can put it in the cold and start serving it.

Chop a large head of cabbage, grate 2-3 carrots, 2-3 pcs. cut sweet pepper and 2 onions into half rings. If you want, you can add a few allspice peas and a few bay leaves.

Place the cabbage in the jar, carefully compacting each layer, but do not try to crush it too much. Place the jar in a deep plate, leave it in a warm place, covering the neck with gauze. After 2-3 days, cover the fermented sauerkraut with a plastic lid and refrigerate.

Cabbage is a vegetable that maintains vigor and a cheerful, calm mood.
In Russia, cabbage has long been treated with love and respect. Cabbage is good in any form, but quick-cooking pickled cabbage, of course, is beyond any competition. Almost everyone loves it - spicy and crispy or tender and juicy.
Instant pickled cabbage is a welcome guest on any table. It is an excellent addition to meat, fish, and many other dishes. You can pickle any type of cabbage - both white cabbage, which is simply created for pickling, and red cabbage. The red cabbage is tougher, but if properly marinated, it becomes soft and tender. Cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and broccoli are also good for quick pickling.
Pickling, unlike fermentation, allows you to get quick results.

Features of preparing delicious pickled cabbage
- You can pickle not only white cabbage. Almost all varieties are suitable for this. They marinate both red cabbage, Peking cabbage (Korean chim-chim, or chamcha), and colored cabbage.
- For marinating, you should choose tight, dense forks. From such heads of cabbage, the snack always turns out crispy and tasty.
- You can cut forks into strips, large or small pieces, or even into quarters
- You can marinate only cabbage, or you can pickle it together with other vegetables, such as carrots, bell peppers, beets, apples, plums, lingonberries or cranberries
- Garlic is almost always added, and onions are added less often. If you add onions, the cabbage will have an “onion” taste.
- a variety of peppers, coriander, cumin, rosemary, bay leaves, and cloves are used as spices
- sometimes, instead of a mixture of spices, ready-made spices are added to prepare Korean carrots, and in one of the recipes we even used ginger
- It is advisable to remove the bay leaf after boiling the marinade so that it does not give off bitterness. Although someone doesn't clean up. But when I was studying, they taught me how to clean.
- You can use apple, grape, table vinegar 9%, essence. You can replace all this with lemon juice or even kiwi juice.
And all this diversity will help you prepare completely different versions of pickled cabbage. Change the spices a little and the taste will be completely new. Add certain vegetables, and the appetizer will take on a new color and new notes of taste. And by manipulating the peppers, we get a spicy, not too spicy, and not at all spicy appetizer.
I really like to “play” with all these colors from this rich palette. Because thanks to this, every time you feel like an artist, and you can paint absolutely any “tasty” picture called “Pickled Cabbage”. And although the name is not entirely poetic, it is still very culinary!
Bon appetit!
1 large head of cabbage (weighing 1.8–2 kg)
3 large carrots
1 tsp. cumin and/or fennel seeds (optional)
120 ml apple or white wine vinegar
1 tbsp. l. with a pile of sugar
2 tbsp. l. with a heap of salt
Step 1
For the brine, mix salt, sugar and seeds, if using, with 1 liter of boiling water, stir until dissolved and pour in the vinegar. Let it cool while you prepare the rest.
Step 2
Chop the cabbage very thinly, removing the stalk, then cut crosswise into 3-4 cm pieces. Grate the peeled carrots on a coarse grater. Mix the carrots and cabbage more thoroughly with your hands like Sauerkraut “In 5 Minutes” and place in jars.
Step 3
Pour warm brine into the jars, pierce the cabbage with Chinese chopsticks to the very bottom so that excess air comes out and the brine is better distributed throughout the jar. The brine should cover the cabbage. If necessary, compact the cabbage.
Step 4
Close the jars with lids and place in the refrigerator. Crispy and tasty cabbage will be ready in 24 hours.

GRANDMOTHER SAYS:
Since ancient times, sauerkraut has been the calling card of many peoples, as soon as the name changes, while the dish itself remains unchanged. Each fruit or vegetable has its own signature vitamin, and cabbage has methylmethionine. At the same time, sauerkraut is highly valued for its ability to retain the most important and necessary vitamin C for a long time. During storage, it is not destroyed and even a small heat treatment will not harm it.

Cabbage Pelyustka
According to the rules, pelyuska should be crispy. Therefore, you need to choose elastic, thick cabbage for it, so that it does not fall apart due to processing.
Ingredients
- cabbage forks 1.2-1.5 kg
- 1 medium carrot, 100 g
- 1 large beet, 200 g
- vegetable oil 5-6 tbsp
- garlic 5 cloves
For the marinade
- water 1 liter
- sugar 1/2 cup
- vinegar 9% 200 ml.
- salt 2 tbsp. spoons
Preparation
Remove the top leaves from the cabbage. Cut it crosswise and remove the stalk. Cut it even smaller into pieces of 3-4 cm.
Cut beets and carrots into strips or bars. Garlic - in thin circles.
We will put everything in the jar in layers: the first layer is cabbage, beets on top, then carrots and garlic. Press with your palm and repeat the sequence of layers again until it reaches almost the top. But remember to leave room for the marinade.
We make the marinade like this: the water should boil, add salt and sugar to it, cool slightly. Add oil and vinegar. The marinade must cool before pouring, after which you can safely pour it into the jar with the cabbage.
Cover it all with a lid and leave it for two days at room temperature. Our cabbage will begin to ferment, and the beets will give it a beautiful pink color.
After this, put the cabbage in the refrigerator for another day.
In general, you can try it the very next day. However, for it to be completely ready, it will take a few more days for the thickest leaves to be saturated with the marinade. So that the color becomes rich and the taste incomparable!
