Pickled cabbage

Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium-sized cabbage (white or red)
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1/2 dl vinegar (24%)
  • 1/2 dl apple cider vinegar
  • 1dl stevia-based sweetener (e.g. Sötströ)
  • Ground black pepper (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Grate the cabbage (the grated pieces will be small, this is fine)
  2. Mix the cabbage with the salt
  3. Put the mix in a bowl or on on a plate and then put a weighted bowl or plate on top of the cabbage to help squeeze water.
  4. Leave for 30 minutes
  5. Mix vinegar, apple cider vinegar and sweetener.
  6. Pour out the squeezed-out water from the cabbage bowl, and mix in the mix from step 5.
  7. Store the result in a glass jar. The liquid mix will likely not cover all the cabbage pieces, this is fine.
  8. Put the jar in the fridge, eat within a week.

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the cucumber (use a cheese grater or similar for best result)
  2. Mix the cucumber slices with the salt
  3. Put the mix in a bowl or on on a plate and then put a weighted bowl or plate on top of the cucumbers to help squeeze water out of the slices.
