Pickled cabbage - lahana tursu

Winter is around the corner & we picked a lot of cabbages from a farm. So it was time to make pickled cabbage. I'm going to show you how my mom is making it.

Ingredients:

garlic cloves
salt
vinegar
cabbage
carrots
cayenne pepper
everything else you want to pickle

Prepare your vegetables by peeling & chopping them into large pieces or the size you desire. Cut your garlic cloves in half. Layer your chopped vegetables & the garlic cloves into a jar. We used a big plastic barrel because we were making a huge amount.

Mix your salt with the vinegar. Dilute the vinegar with water. Dip your finger in it & taste it. Add either more vinegar or more water depending on how it tastes to you. Then pour the liquid mixture to the vegetables. Close the lid of the barrel/jar & let it rest. Ours was ready after 2 weeks.
