Ingredients

  • 3 cups cabbage finely sliced
  • 2 whole cabbage leaves
  • 1 beetroot grated
  • 1 carrot grated
  • ½ red onion finely sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 heaping teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 heaping teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Place the cabbage, beetroot, carrot and onion into a bowl.
  • Add the sea salt and mix well. Lightly massage the salt into the vegetables. Let sit for about 15 minutes.
  • Add the caraway seeds, garlic and ginger and mix well.
  • Place a place and a weight (such as a jug of water) on top of the vegetables. Leave to sit for at least 2 hours or until the liquid is released and covers the vegetables.
  • Place the vegetables and the liquid into a clear mason jar. Pack the vegetables well into the jar with a wooden spoon. Leave a small space at the top of the jar.
  • Place the two cabbage leaves on top and push the vegetables down again. The liquid should cover the vegetables at all times.
  • Secure with a lid and place in a cool, dark spot in your kitchen for 3-5 days. Once fermented you can remove the whole cabbage leaves.
  • Store in the fridge and enjoy as a delicious addition to any meal.
