Instant cabbage with beets and garlic

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make instant cabbage with garlic and beets? Prepare the necessary products. I advise you to take late varieties of cabbage; it is best suited for pickling and pickling. Choose bright, dark burgundy beets; the dish will look more beautiful. Along with beets, you can put other vegetables - carrots, bell peppers.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove the top spoiled leaves from the cabbage. Cut the fork into pieces, removing the stalk. Cut each piece into squares.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash and peel the beets. Cut it into arbitrary pieces. I cut it into cubes, you can make circles or slices, or you can just grate it. Here the choice is yours, whichever you like best. The smaller the pieces, the more intense the color of the marinade.

4. STEP 4

   

   Divide the garlic into cloves and peel each clove.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take a suitable sized pan or jar. Place cabbage, beets, garlic in layers, add bay leaf and peppercorns. I got three layers. You can also add your favorite spices and herbs.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour one liter of clean water into the pan, it is better to take bottled or filtered water. Pour salt, sugar into it, pour vinegar and vegetable oil. The cabbage turns out to be very spicy, so if you don’t like it, then reduce the amount of vinegar. Place the pan on the fire. Mix everything well until the sugar and salt crystals dissolve.

7. STEP 7

   

   Bring the marinade to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour the hot marinade over the cabbage. The marinade should cover all the cabbage; if there is not enough, make another portion or half.

8. STEP 8

   

   If you are cooking in a saucepan, place a weight on top of the cabbage. If it’s in a jar, like me, then just compact it with something. Leave the cabbage to cool completely, then put it in the refrigerator. The cabbage will be ready in 24 hours. You can prepare cabbage for the winter in this way by rolling it into sterilized jars. Bon appetit!

I absolutely love this Instant Pot Garlic and Beet Kale! I needed to quickly prepare a cabbage appetizer for the holiday table and I immediately found the right recipe on my favorite website) Cabbage really cooks quickly and is completely ready within 24 hours. My cabbage was young, juicy, loose, just right for pickling. I cut the vegetables with a curly knife for beauty) I put everything in layers in a food-grade plastic container and poured boiling marinade over it. For 1.5 kg. I used 1.5 liters of marinade for cabbage. I didn’t press the cabbage too much; there were a lot of empty spaces. After cooling, I put the container in the refrigerator. Exactly 24 hours later I took a sample and was very pleased with the result. The cabbage turned out crispy, juicy, sweet and salty. The taste is perfectly balanced. And how beautiful she is))) This is the most successful recipe for cabbage with beets! I recommend to everyone!

Great recipe for pickled cabbage. The proportions give a balanced spiciness, however, I took the liberty of increasing the brightness by adding more spices. Hot chili pepper and for spice I put a couple of clove buds, whole coriander and a couple of allspice grains. I broke the dry chili pod into pieces and put it directly into the jar, like the rest of the spices. The result is bright, elegant, tasty. Crispy, spicy-sweet, invigorates the appetite, everyone who tasted it liked it. Good as a snack for khinkali, dumplings and baked meat. New thing: when it reaches room temperature, the taste of cabbage reveals itself differently. The pepper aftertaste is softer, and the aroma of spices is brighter.
