Do you know what kind of snack to add to your lunch to bring it to perfection? What about sauerkraut? Editorial "Site" Just prepared an incredibly easy and quick way to leavened cabbage, and we are really looking forward to sharing it with you!



By the way, did you know that getting involved in fermented foods is extremely useful? However, we have already written about what sauerkraut is useful, so today we will focus on the recipe itself.

How to sour cabbage Ingredients
  • 1 cabbage head
  • 2 carrots
  • 3 tbsp salt
  • 2 l of water
  • tasteful
  • 2 tbsp sugar


Preparation
  1. First, clean the cabbage from the top sheets, and then stick it with a special knife.



  2. Then peel the carrots and rub it with straw on a large grater.



  3. Next, mix the cabbage with carrots well and transfer it to a three-liter jar. The can itself be sure to put in a deep bowl, so that after the next stage of cooking, you do not have to do wet cleaning in the kitchen.



  4. Pour the water into a pan, then combine the salt with spices and send the resulting mixture to the same pan with water. Then leave the water on the fire until boiling, and then pour the resulting brine cabbage. It is desirable that the brine at the same time spilled over the edge of the jar, completely covering the cabbage.



    After you fill the cabbage with brine, leave the can to stand open for two days. To protect a valuable product from getting into it any unwanted additives (in the form of dust or small winged insects accidentally wandering into the house), you can cover the cabbage with a paper napkin.

  5. From time to time pierce the cabbage with a sharp knife, trying to get to the bottom while it insists. This should be done in order to remove the excessive bitterness that can occur as a result of improper fermentation.



    At the end, gently pour the brine from the jar into the pan and add sugar to it. Stir the sugar until completely dissolved, and then again pour brine cabbage. After that, it remains only to cover the can with a lid and remove the workpiece in the refrigerator for another 24 hours.



That’s all you need to do to please yourself and loved ones with a delicious crispy snack. Hopefully the cooking instructions were simple enough, and if not, feel free to let us know in the comments so we can correct ourselves.
