And here we are again, our dear fans. In this review, everything will be extremely simple. Dish of the day - a salad of fresh cabbage and carrots. This is not just a salad, but a kind of pickled appetizer that will impress any lover of pickles. And for many it will be a real surprise that you can cook such a thing in a matter of hours with a minimum set of products. Don't believe? Then now we will prove it to you, but after a short digression into history.
First of all, it should be noted that pickling cabbage should not be confused with fermenting the product. Sauerkraut is a fermentation product of lactic acid bacteria, which, in addition to the preparation itself, also requires a significant time resource for ripening. At the same time, pickled cabbage can be cooked in a matter of hours, and during the cooking process it involves the use of marinade - vinegar and other ripening provocateurs.
In turn, there are a great many varieties of such pickling in the world: fresh pickled cabbage with carrots, when the salad is cooked with vinegar, Chinese Kimchi cabbage, which, in addition to everything else, is very spicy. Szechuan cabbage marinated in pepper, Hakusai-zuke cabbage according to a Japanese recipe, etc. Such an appetizer is always a great help for any feast, and therefore every housewife should master the art of its preparation. Here is our recipe according to which such a salad of fresh cabbage and carrots will turn out to be delicious.
Vegetables should be washed and peeled
It is important to chop the cabbage thinner and evenly
Put the cabbage in a bowl and add salt and sugar. Now it is important to shake the cabbage well with your hands until it releases juice
Meanwhile grate the carrots on a coarse grater
It's time to combine vegetables and add spices, vinegar and vegetable oil
Now mix everything well and send the salad to infuse in the refrigerator for an hour
Ready! Serve the table
I am for fresh vegetables and definitely for their combination with vegetable oil. That is, a salad with fresh cabbage and carrots is what you need. By the way, for a change, you can also prepare a salad where there will be not only fresh carrots and cabbage, but also beets. But the addition of vinegar is a controversial issue in terms of benefits. And all because vinegar is definitely not good for everyone. Although many even drink it on an empty stomach. The summary is this: if health allows, you can and even need to cook an appetizer, and if not, then just eat a salad and you will be happy. Your HozOboz!
