My mom also adds salt into holes when she takes out the core, she says it makes them pickle faster. She also puts a heavy stone to put preassure on the cabbages so there is less empty space. Pickled cabbage is amazing, it’s really great if you stirfry it with some bacon, or just a side dish for roasted pork, but I think everyone’s favorite is stuffed cabbage leaves, in my country we call it sarma.

Hi Alystrin - Yes, you can do all that - all helpful advices. Salt in the holes of the cabbage core will help pickling faster, but I’ve never done that. And as for the stone - my mom had a nice stone too. I don’t have one. And you are right - pickled cabbage is the best. And nothing is better than sarmale. Mai ales cu mămăliguță și o țuica fiartă. 🤗

Give this a "like" if you like the way I pickle my cabbage

Using a stoneware pot is much better! The plastic of the cooler can leech into the salt water and get into the food. A stone on top ensures that it is all under water. Some juniper berries and a bey leaf or cumin make it easier to digest.

Hey neighbor - I am originally from Romania. I bought that cooler from a store in USA (where I live now). Look for water cooler or just ask around. I am assuming pickling cabbage is very popular in Bulgaria as it’s in Romania. Ask your friends and family what they use, and find something that’s best for you. You can always use a big pot (9-10 liters). Wish you the best!

I love the simple technique of pickling cabbage, thank you for sharing. Does it need to be burped like an fermentation? Can I use a 5 gallon food grade bucket? And how long can it be stored this way?

@Gurmete 2 жыл бұрын

Hi MKB - yes, if you want, you can do that burp like fermentation. I usually do it once or none during the 2 months time frame when I’m pickling my cabbage. Once pickled, you can put the cabbage heads in ziplock bags and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 months. Maybe even longer, but I can’t confirm since pickled cabbage don’t last that long in my family. Absolutely - you can use the 5 gallons food grade bucket. Happy and healthy 2022!

I just brought mine in after it’s been soaking for 5 weeks. I’ve never done this before. There was a small pinkish area of the cabbage that was bobbing above the water level that seemed slimy so I cut that part off. What is a good recipe in which to use this cabbage? I didn’t see the ones you mentioned in your videos. Thank you!

@Gurmete 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing this with me. Remove the part that you don’t like. I think it was created because it was not closed correctly, or maybe the cabbage had something in the leaves. Use the water you pickled the cabbage in - it’s full of probiotics. Just strain the water a couple of times. Keep it in the fridge, or in a cool place if you boil it before (but you might lose some of the benefits/probiotics). As for what you can do with pickled cabbage - you have multiple options. Make a salad (chop the cabbage, add freshly ground black pepper and olive oil), use it in stews, soups, or make my favorite - stuffed cabbage rolls (I don’t have a video, but use this as a starting point: archivedketo.wordpress.com/2019/12/30/how-i-prepare-stuffed-cabbage/). Or search for some videos on KZfaq. As for stew - see this video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdSPn7qezdOvioE.html ), but use the pickled cabbage instead of the fresh (sweet) one. Let me know if I can help you with something else! And Enjoy - cabbage is good, but pickled cabbage is awesome!

@@Gurmete Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try these recipes! I already shredded one cabbage head and it made the best sauerkraut my family has ever eaten. They were so impressed that this was the cabbage that had been in a bucket in the basement for a month lol 😆
