This recipe results in a fantastic pickled cabbage dish that’s quick and super-easy to put together. It has layers of flavor and gets better as it ages. If it needs to travel, or if you’re making the recipe ahead, use a traditional cabbage instead of the Napa. Be sure to use a living vinegar and slice your cabbage with great intention. In the end, it will taste better.
Ingredients
- 1 pound white or red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers, seeded and chopped
- ½ red onion, grated
- ½ bunch parsley, minced
- ½ cup cider vinegar
- ½ cup hot water
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon mustard seed
- 1 tablespoon celery seed
Instructions
Combine cabbage, celery, peppers, onion and parsley in a large bowl and set aside.
Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook just enough to melt the sugar. Pour over vegetables, give it all a good stir and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before refrigerating to blend flavors.
