Time P7DT25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 pounds cabbage, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons sea salt
3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
water to cover

Steps:

  • Mix cabbage, onion, sea salt, and garlic together in a bowl. Firmly pack mixture into a large, clean, food-grade plastic bucket. The cabbage will start to make its own brine as the salt starts to draw out the water of the cabbage.
  • Fill a large, clean, food-grade plastic bag with water and place over the salted cabbage mixture so none of the cabbage is exposed to air.
  • Allow cabbage to ferment in a cool, dry place, 1 to 4 weeks (depending on how tangy you like your sauerkraut). The temperature of the room you ferment the sauerkraut in should not rise above 70 degrees F (21 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used for sauerkraut slaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your slaw a beautiful purple color.
  • Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing and make the slaw more tender. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really makes sauerkraut slaw special. There are many different variations on the dressing, but some common ingredients include vinegar, sugar, oil, and spices. You can also add other ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, or sour cream to taste.
  • Add some other vegetables. Sauerkraut slaw is a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables. You can add shredded carrots, celery, onion, or even apples to your slaw. These vegetables will add crunch, flavor, and nutrients.
  • Serve sauerkraut slaw chilled. Sauerkraut slaw is best served chilled. This will help the flavors meld together and make the slaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Sauerkraut slaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it's also a healthy and affordable option.
