Pickled cabbage in Georgian style

I also suggest watching the video recipe. I will not describe it, since it is very similar to the recipe that was already mentioned above. There are only small additions to the recipe, but everything is prepared almost the same.

Here, admire how beautiful it is!

Features of preparing delicious pickled cabbage
  • You can pickle not only white cabbage. Almost all varieties are suitable for this. They marinate both red cabbage, Peking cabbage (Korean chim-chim, or chamcha), and colored cabbage.
  • For marinating, you should choose tight, dense forks. From such heads of cabbage, the snack always turns out crispy and tasty.
  • You can cut forks into strips, large or small pieces, or even into quarters
  • You can pickle only cabbage, or you can pickle it together with other vegetables, such as carrots, bell peppers, beets, apples, plums, lingonberries or cranberries


  • Garlic is almost always added, and onions are added less often. If you add onions, the cabbage will have an “onion” taste.
  • a variety of peppers, coriander, cumin, rosemary, bay leaves, cloves are used as spices
  • sometimes, instead of a mixture of spices, ready-made spices are added to prepare Korean carrots, and in one of the recipes we even used ginger
  • It is advisable to remove the bay leaf after boiling the marinade so that it does not give off bitterness. Although someone doesn't clean up. But when I was studying, they taught me how to clean.
  • You can use apple, grape, table vinegar 9%, essence. You can replace all this with lemon juice or even kiwi juice.


And all this diversity will help you prepare completely different versions of pickled cabbage. Change the spices a little and the taste will be completely new. Add certain vegetables, and the appetizer will take on a new color and new notes of taste. And by manipulating the peppers, we get a spicy, not too spicy, and not at all spicy appetizer.

I really like to “play” with all these colors from this rich palette. Because thanks to this, you feel like an artist every time, and you can paint absolutely any “delicious” picture called “Pickled Cabbage”. And although the name is not entirely poetic, it is still very culinary!

Bon appetit!

Option 1: Classic recipe for pickled red cabbage

Red cabbage preparations are not very popular, but in vain. You can get wonderful snacks that will delight you with their brightness and softness. When fresh, cabbage is very tough, which is why it is difficult to eat and is not universally loved. Here is a classic way of preparing vegetables marinated in large pieces in jars. Recipe with sterilization and sealing with iron lids.

Ingredients

  • 5 kg of red cabbage;
  • 5 liters of water;
  • 50 g garlic;
  • 8 tablespoons of salt;
  • 10 spoons of sugar;
  • 130 ml table vinegar;
  • 2 pods of hot pepper.

Step-by-step recipe for classic pickled red cabbage

We wash the red cabbage or simply remove the top leaves. First cut into four parts and then crosswise. We should get pieces that will fit into the neck of the jar. We remove the stalks immediately.

Peel the garlic and cut each clove into two parts. Wash the hot pepper and cut it into circles. You can cook without it. Sometimes greens are added to such cabbage; in this case, it is better to use dill umbrellas.

Place red cabbage in sterilized jars, add pieces of garlic and pepper, and fill. We're not in a hurry, we're trying to make fewer voids.

Boil the marinade: add salt and sugar to the water, boil for three minutes. Turn off the stove and add vinegar. Stir. Using a ladle or ladle, pour the marinade and put on sterile metal lids.

Transfer the jars of cabbage to a tall saucepan or large bowl with a cloth at the bottom. Pour hot water into the container. It is important that the liquid reaches the jars up to 2/3 of the height, or even better, up to the very shoulders. We turn on the stove with the installed structure.

Sterilize liter jars for 10 minutes. For containers of two and three liters, 15 and 20 minutes, respectively. Then we take it out of the water, roll it up, and keep it upside down under the blanket for two days.

The time for sterilizing jars is not measured from the moment the stove is turned on, but only after the water boils in the pan (basin).

  • 3 spoons of soy sauce.

How to quickly cook pickled red cabbage

Chop the red cabbage into strips, pour into a bowl, add salt and soy sauce, add vinegar and honey. If it has already become sugared, then you need to melt it, use a spoon without a slide. Grind everything together and leave for an hour. It is advisable to cover the bowl.

Finely chop the onion. Heat the oil and add the vegetable, cook until translucent. Sometimes the onion is cut into large pieces, fried and thrown away, only oil is used in the salad without pieces, you can try this option.

While the onion is frying, stir the cabbage, sprinkle with spices, and squeeze out the garlic. Pour hot oil along with the onion and cover with a tight lid.

Let the salad cool, then stir, compact, cover again and leave the pickled red cabbage for about five hours. Before serving, it is advisable to cool and be sure to stir again, as the spices and oil will drain to the bottom.

The salad will be even tastier if you use grated juicy carrots along with cabbage. The honey in this recipe can be replaced with brown or white sugar.

Option 3: Spicy pickled red cabbage overnight

The pickled red cabbage in this recipe takes a little longer than the appetizer in the previous recipe. It will be ready in a day. The taste is piquant, the aroma is amazing, and everything is prepared very simply and relatively quickly. We chop the vegetable with a knife or use a special grater.

  • 70 g sugar;
  • 2 tablespoons of salt;
  • 1 hot pepper;
  • 2 cloves of garlic;
  • 2 buds of cloves.

How to cook

Cut the red cabbage into neat, long strips and place in a bowl. We peel the carrots, cut them or grate them through a Korean grater into approximately the same strips. Simply cut the garlic into four parts and add it to the cabbage. Finely chop the hot pepper into crumbs and add afterwards.

Heat the vinegar with salt and sugar, let them dissolve, pour in the oil. Pour the hot but not boiling marinade over the cabbage, stir, cover and let stand for five hours.

Add a couple of cloves to the cabbage, stir, and put the appetizer into jars. Pour in the juice and marinade that will collect at the bottom of the bowl. We put on the nylon lids and put them in the refrigerator for 12-15 hours or just until the next day.

It is advisable to place appetizers with marinades in the refrigerator upside down so that the liquid flows into it. When returning to its normal position on top, the cabbage will not be dry, it will be well soaked. It is important to use a tight lid; you can put the jar in a bowl or use a tray for insurance.

Option 4: Pickled red cabbage with horseradish and apples

Using this principle, you can prepare pickled red cabbage with bell peppers, beets, carrots, and any other vegetables.

Option 5: Pickled red cabbage with carrots and garlic

According to this recipe, cabbage is marinated for about two days. The appetizer is bright, appetizing, and smells pleasant of garlic. You can add any herbs and spices; they are not listed in the ingredients. If desired, make a spicy version, simply add chopped pepper.

Ingredients

  • 1 head of red cabbage;
  • 180 ml vinegar 6%;
  • 2 carrots;
  • 1 head of garlic;
  • 6 tablespoons of oil;
  • 2 tablespoons of salt;
  • 4 spoons of sugar;
  • 1 liter of water.

How to cook

Shred the cabbage and carrots into strips. Cut the garlic into several parts, do not chop. We combine everything in a basin and knead it a little with our hands, since we are using hard ingredients. There is no need to add salt at this stage. We place the vegetables in jars; there is no need to compact them tightly so that the marinade can easily pass inside.

Boil water, add sugar and salt, vegetable oil, and, if desired, laurel and peppercorns. Remove from the stove, pour in vinegar. Let it sit for five minutes; do not use boiling marinade.

Fill jars of cabbage with hot marinade to the very top. We put the lids on, but don't close them. Cool at room temperature and let stand for 8-10 hours. Then we put on the lids and put them in a cool place or just in the refrigerator for 1.5 days.

You can not grate the carrots into strips, but cut them into thin circles. In this form, the vegetable will not get lost among the pieces of bright red cabbage.

The violet or purple leaves of a plant from the Brassica family, which was brought to Russia from the Mediterranean, have a rich hue and a spicy aroma. They look original in salads and are very healthy for humans. Housewives who pickle or salt red cabbage for the winter provide their households not only with a tasty product, but also with vitamins, fiber, and microelements. The vegetable goes well with root vegetables and peppers, making juicy and crispy pickles.

Despite the fact that the cruciferous plant comes from countries with a Mediterranean climate, it tolerates the weather conditions of the middle zone, but in Russia it is cultivated much less than white cabbage, but the composition of the vegetable is much richer. The unusual coloring of the leaves is due to anthocyanins. These substances help increase the strength of the walls of blood vessels, reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension, and remove toxins and radionuclides from the body.

Red cabbage contains selenium, which has a beneficial effect on the thyroid gland and accelerates the synthesis of antibodies. Fiber normalizes the digestion process and cleanses the intestines of fats and toxins. Ascorbic acid strengthens the immune system. Phytoncides present in the leaves fight bacterial infection.

The juice of the vegetable, which in Russia was called blue cabbage, has long been used to treat tuberculosis, bronchitis, and stomach ulcers. The leaves of the culture were used to heal wounds, scratches, and tighten scars. Red cabbage is rich in vitamins in the form of:

  • tocopherol;
  • folic acid;
  • riboflavin;
  • retinol.

The vegetable is useful for women carrying a baby, people with diabetes, and people who suffer from obesity. With regular use, the heart functions better, cancer tumors form less, and healthy cells do not degenerate.

The purple color looks very original in a salad; the sharp and unusual taste of cabbage fermented for the winter will appeal to all household members.

Crispy

Vegetables go well with fruits. If you marinate red cabbage with apples in a ratio of 1 to 5, it will turn out very tasty.

Sweet and sour fruits add their own notes and add a garden aroma.

Onions, which you will need 250 g for 5 kilograms of vegetables, cut into rings. The apples, having removed the core and seeds, are finely chopped. After removing the top leaves, shred the cabbage. All ingredients are placed in an enamel bowl, mixed with half a spoonful of salt and caraway seeds, covered and pressed. The workpiece is placed in a dark place where it should ferment. Crispy cabbage is packaged in jars, which are taken to the cellar. It will be even tastier with olive or sunflower oil, but it won’t last until spring.

Cabbage salad

In winter, vegetable preparations sell out very quickly. Many families love pickled tomatoes and pickled cucumbers, enjoy eating caviar from zucchini or eggplant, and serve salad made from red or purple cabbage and peppers. To prepare it, you need to take a kilogram of these vegetables and 2 onions.

The marinade is cooked using:

  • water - 1 liter;
  • sugar - 200 g;
  • vinegar - 1/2 cup;
  • salt - 2 or 3 tablespoons;
  • Dill seeds.

The cabbage needs to be chopped into strips, the pepper is placed in boiling water for 5 minutes, then dipped in cool water and cut into rings. They do the same with onions.

Storage rules

Hermetically sealed vegetables marinated with vinegar or citric acid can be left in the apartment away from radiators and other heating devices. Sterile jars of cabbage should be placed in a place where the rays of the sun do not reach. In a ventilated basement or cellar, where the air temperature is slightly above zero, such preparations do not deteriorate for a year or more.

Salted and pickled vegetables are much more difficult to store. Both white and red cabbage peroxidizes already at +10, so it is better to take it to the basement and leave it in the refrigerator. If this is not possible, you need to place the pickles in the pantry or kitchen, but add sugar regularly. Having turned into vinegar, this product functions as a preservative, prevents rotting, and preserves vitamins and microelements.

Pickled vegetables do not spoil for a long time; when sunflower oil is poured into the container, it prevents the growth of bacteria that cause fermentation.


In a private house with a cellar, you can place cabbage in a wooden barrel. The preparations do not lose their taste and do not rot for at least 6 months.

The brine should not be drained from pickled vegetables, as ascorbic acid will quickly decompose.

Over time, mold will form on the surface of the snack. Mustard seeds and horseradish rhizomes help protect the product from such an unpleasant phenomenon. Pickles can be stored for a long time if you place lingonberries in a jar or barrel.
