Pickled Cabbage

Tangy and crunchy, it's awesome in sandwiches, tacos, salads, or as a side.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cabbage (red or white)
  • 1 or 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ground pepper
  • ½ cup vinegar (experiment with different kinds)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt

Method

  • Slice the cabbage into very thin strips. I find the best way is to cut away the core, pull apart the leaves, then stack a few at a time and slice.
  • Add the sliced cabbage, garlic, bay leaf and ground pepper to a jar.
  • Add the remaining ingredient to a pot and heat gently, stiring until dissolved. Pour over the cabbage. If the liquid doesn't quite cover the cabbage that's okay, some more liquid will come out of the cabbage.
  • Don't put it in the fridge yet, let it sit out for at least a few hours. Give it a good stir and store in the fridge. It's good for a few weeks and can be eaten pretty much straight away, but will be better after at least 24 hours.
