And in general, what kind of winter without a jar or two of sauerkraut? According to this recipe, one of my very distant relatives was sauerkraut. Cabbage turns out to be slightly tart, "spicy", vigorous and very tasty. Try it, and suddenly you like it?

  5. And use a wooden pestle to "stomp" the cabbage a little. It is not necessary to mash or rub it hard. Just tap 5-7 times with the pestle up and down and mix the cabbage with the carrots. It is more convenient to do this in portions. Usually I divide the whole volume into 4 parts and "trample" cabbage in 4 steps

  13. The fermentation time depends on the room temperature and can last from 3 to 5 days. As soon as it is seen that the fermentation has gone down, the brine is not isolated - the cabbage is ready. Put it away in a cold place (refrigerator, cellar, basement) and enjoy all winter.

  14. Considering that no sugar was used during fermentation and rye flour was used, cabbage may seem to you more acidic than usual and more "vigorous". Therefore, when serving, lightly sprinkle with sugar, stir and leave for 5-10 minutes, then pour oil and serve.
