Ingredients

  • 1 pound cabbage, finely shredded (green or red or both)
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 of a medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Ground cumin, to taste

Method

  • Combine all ingredients in a large, clean bowl.
  • Using clean tongs or hands, gently crush the vegetables in the brine.
  • Place a clean plate on top of the vegetables, and weigh it down to fully submerge them under the brine.
  • Let sit at room temperature for at least 3 days, or longer to your taste; the flavor will deepen and mellow over time.
  • When its to your liking, transfer to clean jars, making sure brine covers the vegetables, and store in the refrigerator.
  • Can keep for weeks.
