Cabbage Pilyuska with beets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 day

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare the recipe for piluska (pelyuska), take a strong, dense head of cabbage, beets, salt, sugar, vinegar, garlic, bay leaf and peppercorns.

2. STEP 2

   

   First prepare the marinade, because... it will need to be chilled. Add salt, sugar, spices to the water and finally pour in the vinegar, boil the mixture for a minute and turn off the stove, let it cool while you work on the cabbage.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the beets - it is better to take medium-sized root vegetables, sweet and dense. Cut the beets into bars or slices as you like.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the cabbage from outer and green leaves and cut into squares.

5. STEP 5

   

   In clean jars (it is not necessary to sterilize them), place pieces of cabbage and beets in layers, add garlic, cut into petals.

6. STEP 6

   

   Fill the contents of the jars with marinade and place in a cool place. You can try it after a couple of days (depending on the size of the cabbage), but it’s safer after a week: the cabbage will marinate, become saturated with the aroma of bay leaves and garlic, and acquire a pleasant lilac-pink color.

Hello! I decided to cook cabbage according to your recipe, it seemed like I compacted the jars, but there was still not enough brine. I had to prepare additional brine and with a reserve)) It’s better to pour out too much than not have enough again.
