easy pickled cabbage

This Quick Pickled Cabbage recipe takes only 10 minutes! It completely transforms the pickles, and adds a divine pop of flavour to any recipe. Use them in sandwiches, tacos, burgers and any recipe you like!

Quick Pickled Cabbage (or any vegetable)

red cabbage

apple cider vinegar

filtered water

sea salt

coconut/cane/brown sugar

lime slices

peppercorns + any additional seasonings (cumin seeds, jalapeño etc.)

In a pot, add the vinegar, water, sea salt, sugar and peppercorns. If using any other additional seasonings, add them now too. Stir together. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes.

Add in the red cabbage, and allow to boil for 2 minutes with the red cabbage. If making pickles with cucumbers, wash, dry and slice the cucumbers. Add them tightly packed to a mason jar (you might need two jars). Set aside for now (don&#39;t place them into the boiling liquid for best crunch).

Remove from heat, let cool for 1 minute, then pour into a mason jar large enough to hold everything and that also allows the red cabbage to be completely covered in the vinegar mixture. Add in the lime slices (optional) and swirl together to mix everything together.If making pickles, pour the liquid into the mason jar(s) and completely cover the cucumbers. 

Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature. You can serve immediately once cooled, but if you let it sit and continue to pickle, the flavours meld incredibly. I tried mine three days later and they were perfect. A week is even better. They will last several weeks in your fridge in a mason jar that has the cover tightly screwed on.

Enjoy!

What a perfect recipe! I had never pickled anything before, and now I'm hooked. 😁

Perfection every single time and could not be easier to do. Thank you so much for posting this amazing recipe.

Have repeatedly made this recipe the last 3 years, I love it. It's simple and also a cheap way to add vegetables to any meal. I often add it to sandwiches for a nice crunch. I've used the recipe to pickle carrots and beets as well and it always works. Using regular white vinegar makes it even cheaper and works, too.

Thanks for sharing!

Simple and delicious! Can't wait make it! Thank you for sharing!

I have eaten pickled cabbage in many countries like Korea, China, Vietnam. Different countries have different formulas. but they are all very delicious. And so do I want it to be pickled cabbage according to your recipe. Very delicious. Thank you so much!

Super easy to follow. I actually used cinnamon bark and cloves for the spice addition. Thanks for sharing.

I have been trying to find this recipe for the longest. My Turkish friend brings her mommas cooking to me all the time and well this is pretty much the steps she told and the ingredients.

I come from a country where everything gets pickled, Serbia, but cabbage gets a bit different treatment, we call it "sour cabbage".
However, that process takes too long and you need a huge barrel and a lot of cabbages... So, I can't wait to try this!
