Instant pickled cabbage with beets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make quick-cooking pickled cabbage with beets? Prepare your food. Take cabbage of late, autumn varieties - it is juicier and sweeter. You will need table vinegar, 9%.

2. STEP 2

   

   Tear off the top leaves of the cabbage, rinse the head of cabbage and cut it into large pieces, cutting out the stalk. Then cut each piece into squares with a side of 4-5 cm.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the beets and cut into thin slices. Or bars, it doesn’t matter, it’s only needed for color.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the garlic. Cut the slices into slices. I have young garlic, I cut whole heads. You can reduce the amount of garlic according to your taste.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take a glass or enamel container and place chopped cabbage, beets and garlic in it, alternating. I took the jar. A one and a half liter container held 500 grams of cabbage (I prepared a third of the portion). Do not take utensils made of metal or plastic, especially aluminum - an oxidation reaction may occur upon contact with acid.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare the marinade. Pour clean cold water into the pan. Add sugar, salt, peppercorns and bay leaf. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the water to a boil. Boil it for 5 minutes until the sugar and salt dissolve. Then remove from heat and pour vinegar into the marinade.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the hot marinade over the cabbage. Be careful when working with glass so that it does not break. There should be enough liquid to completely cover the cabbage. If you marinate cabbage in a saucepan, cover it with a plate and place a weight on top. Close the jar with a lid. Leave the container on the counter until it cools completely, then put it in the refrigerator.

8. STEP 8

   

   After a day, you can serve pickled cabbage with garlic and vinegar to the table. Bon appetit!

Very tasty cabbage, just what you need for the winter, thank you! You can pickle cabbage without adding beets, but also cut it into pieces. It turns out quickly and very tasty.

My mother always prepared cabbage like this. I really liked these pink "petals". Then I started cooking it myself, only in our recipe there was less salt. What I like most about this recipe is that the cabbage is cut into squares, there is no need to finely chop it and then mash it with your hands. I remember how our whole family prepared several buckets of cabbage at once)) Everything is much simpler and faster here. I made the brine according to this recipe. I used natural apple vinegar, it tastes better with it, I think. I also cut the beets into thin slices, I like it that way too. I used an impressive cobblestone as a load, washed it first and placed it in a clean bag) A day later we were already taking a sample. The cabbage is crispy! This is the most important thing) The taste is a little salty in my opinion, but my husband liked it well. The sourness is just right. I would have liked a sweeter taste, but that's just my preference. Great cabbage, thanks!

Pickled cabbage in pieces according to this recipe for the fifth time!!! What can I say, this pickled cabbage with beets can be served with main courses as a side dish, and it will also serve as an excellent appetizer for all kinds of alcoholic drinks that we usually drink on holidays. I add more garlic for my taste. Really quick-cooking cabbage. Very quickly, within a day you can try a delicious snack!

The first time I made this recipe, it turned out just perfect. For some reason I liked the beets the most 😅 very crispy. The cabbage is excellent, as for me everything is in moderation. I also added carrots and it turned out very tasty too. My husband and I decided that next time we would experiment and add fresh chili, we decided that it would then resemble kimchi cabbage. In a word, thanks for the recipe. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😍
