Salted cabbage on the table is always tasty and appetizing. This dish can be called national, and not only in Russia. There are many cooking methods that have already been said a lot. But I want to talk about how to cook spicy pickled cabbage for the winter. Here you can use white or Beijing cabbage. It turns out a spicy, moderately savory snack.
Horseradish cabbage
We take white cabbage and cut it into large slices. Then put it in a container, shifting with chopped garlic. We cut the pod of hot pepper finely, and chop the parsley. They are also laid between layers of cabbage. You can use beets if desired. She will give the appetizer an unusual color. Pass horseradish through a meat grinder and add to the rest of the ingredients. Now we need to prepare the brine. For 4 liters of water we put 200 grams of salt and sugar. We boil everything and cool a little. Pour cabbage with brine. Above must definitely put oppression. We hold it for two days in the room, and then rearrange it in the cold. For 8 kilograms of cabbage you will need 100 grams of garlic, 100 grams of fresh parsley, 100 grams of horseradish and a pod of hot pepper. Spicy cabbage for the winter is moderately bitter.
Chinese cabbage
This is a recipe for Korean food. Such cabbage can be prepared in almost any season, but the best time for harvesting is autumn. It will take 3 kilograms of Beijing cabbage, three heads of garlic, 250 grams of salt and red hot pepper. First of all, we choose the right cabbage. It should be of medium maturity, white with green leaves along the edges. We cut medium heads of cabbage into two halves, and large heads into four parts. This spicy cabbage for the winter is used in the preparation of other dishes. Now you need to rub each leaf with salt. To open the leaves, dip the cabbage in water, and then shake it off. We spread the head of cabbage with salt in a container for salting. We put it very tightly. They will be salted during the day in the room. After this, we slightly wash the cabbage from the salt.
Cooking a paste of pepper and garlic. To do this, scroll them in a meat grinder. We take these two ingredients in equal proportions. This is spicy cabbage for the winter, so the filling should be bitter. Now we rub each sheet with this mixture, distributing it very carefully. We spread the cabbage back into the salting container and leave it in the room for a day. Then we lay it out in jars. Spicy cabbage is cleaned in a cold place for the winter.
Spicy white cabbage
Similarly, you can cook white cabbage. To do this, take it and divide it into large parts. We dilute the brine in the proportion of 500 grams of salt per bucket of water. Soak the cabbage in it for 12 hours. Then we pull it out and slightly wring it out. We take a container for salting and put a layer of cabbage in it. We make a mixture of garlic and hot pepper, as in the previous recipe. We shift each layer of cabbage with this mass. We put oppression on top and leave it for three days. After that, hot cabbage for the winter will be ready. Recipes have only minor differences.
