Whole Sour Cabbage

Fermented and Pickled Cold Dishes

Whole sour cabbage is a fermented vegetable food preserve popular in Eastern European and Balkan cuisines. It is similar to sauerkraut, but is prepared by lacto-fermenting whole heads of cabbage for several weeks rather than separate leaves or a grated mass, and requires no vinegar or boiling. It is typically made at home in large barrels filled with whole cabbage heads and water salted with sea salt.
