Quick sauerkraut without vinegar - how to cook instant sauerkraut with carrots and apples - recipe with photo.

For fermentation you will need:

• cabbage (preferably white) – 2 kg;
• carrots (preferably sweet varieties) – 200 g;
• apples (any variety) – 200 g;
• salt – 2 teaspoons;
• sugar – 2 tbsp.

How to salt instant cabbage without vinegar in a jar.

First, we need to wash all the vegetables under running water.

Then, from the cabbage, we remove the top green leaves and cut the head of cabbage in half (a large head of cabbage into 4 parts). Now it needs to be chopped using a special shredder or a sharp knife into thin long strips of the same width.

Then, peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater.

Apples, too, need to be peeled, cored, and then cut into small slices. What size the components of the recipe should be can be clearly seen in the photo.

Now that all the components for our crispy quick sauerkraut are prepared, you need to mix it with salt and granulated sugar.

Next, we need to press the cabbage with our hands, in the manner of kneading dough, until the cabbage juice is released.

Then, mix grated carrots and apple slices with grated cabbage. And we transfer our preparation into a container for fermentation.

Please note that the photo clearly shows that the cabbage should not completely fill the dish. This is necessary so that during fermentation the resulting juice does not spill out of the jar.

Leave the cabbage to ferment in a warm place for 48 hours. When the cabbage has fermented, it will need to be put in a cold place.

It is better to serve this delicious, crispy instant cabbage with finely chopped onions and aromatic vegetable oil.
