Sauerkraut

Tangy, deeply savory cabbage with classic caraway warmth and clean fermented bite.

Sauerkraut

Ingredients

  • 500 g White Cabbage
  • 10 g Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Caraway Seeds

Method

  1. Thinly slice {white_cabbage} into fine shreds so it packs tightly and ferments evenly.
  2. In a large bowl, toss {white_cabbage} with {kosher_salt} and {caraway_seeds}, then massage firmly for several minutes until the cabbage softens and releases enough brine to look wet and glossy.
  3. Pack {white_cabbage} tightly into a clean jar, pressing hard after each handful so the brine rises above the cabbage; keep everything submerged to prevent spoilage.
  4. Cover the jar loosely and let {white_cabbage} ferment at cool room temperature until pleasantly sour and aromatic, checking daily that the cabbage stays below the brine.
  5. Refrigerate {white_cabbage} once the flavor is bright and balanced, then serve cold or gently warmed.
