Hi there! Hope you guys are fine and doing well, I'm also good. Today I'm going to share with you one of the traditional Russian dishes. My great-grandmother used to make it, and then my grandmother, mother and now I make it very often. It doesn't spend much time and you don't need to have much money to make it, but it's so delicious!!! This is sauerkraut! This recipe is so quick and easy so even the children can make it!
You need: cabbage, carrot, salt, sugar, hot water and a big glass of jar. You also can use enameled pan.
That's all!
Cut the cabbage and grate the carrots.
Firstly, boil only 1 liter of water add a tablespoon of salt with a slide + a spoon of sugar. After 10 minutes you can add this water into a jar with the cabbage and carrots (Vegetables should push into a jar very strong)
Next, just leave it in a warm place for fermentation. It's hot now, in my case, it takes about 2,5 days. You will notice some changes. The water will turn into another color, with white shadow, and smell also will be not very beautiful, but the cabbage will be crispy and salty enough. It will be not so much like in the first day, and after the fermentation it will look smaller.
After that put it in the fridge. You can eat it alone with some sunflower oil and fresh cut onion, or add it to another dish, also you can make another traditional salad, but this is topic for another day.
I had: 2 kg 350 gram cabbage
A middle and a small carrots
I boiled 2300 ml of hot water.
When I added all the vegetables I didn't have any free space, but next day it will be a little bit down. Notice! Take wooden steak and push it into this jar from time to time, it helps to go remove the excess air. It's needed for the right taste.
All vegetables must be under this water. You can put some press (I put a heavy glass of water, you can use a plate, if you do it in the pan.)
Hope you like it! Enjoy it
That was quite a good recipe!
