Quick Cabbage Pickles Recipes

PICKLED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Mix the cabbage, shredded carrots, garlic, hot pepper and black pepper in a large bowl.
• In a small sauce pan, bring the water, olive oil, vinegar and salt to a boil. Stir to dissolve the salt. Add the honey, stir and bring to boil again.
• Pour the hot pickling liquid over the cabbage then toss the cabbage with two large spoons. Let cool for a few minutes.
• Transfer to a 2 quart jar, packing tightly. Cover with a lid and let cool to room temperature then refrigerate. It will only get better with time.

QUICK CABBAGE AND CARROT PICKLE

Steps:

• In a 9-inch-square microwave-safe baking dish combine the cabbage, the carrot, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and 4 cups water, cover the mixture with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving one corner uncovered, and microwave it at high power (100%) for 5 minutes. Drain the vegetables and transfer them to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking. Drain the vegetables, pat them dry between several thicknesses of paper towels, and transfer them to a bowl. In a small bowl stir together the vinegar, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and the sugar until the sugar is dissolved, pour the liquid over the vegetables, and chill the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Serve the pickled vegetables with fried chicken or grilled meats.
