The recipe for cooking cabbage "Peljukki"
Ingredients:
- cabbage - 1 medium-sized fork;
- beet - 1 pc .;
- carrots - 1 piece;
- red hot pepper - 1 pc .;
- garlic - 3-5 denticles.
For marinade:
- cold pressed vegetable oil - 100 ml;
- vinegar 5-9% - about 200 ml;
- water - 1 liter;
- spices unmilled (bay leaves, peppercorns, cloves, etc.);
- granulated sugar - 100 g;
- salt, common salt - 2 tbsp. spoons.
Preparation
Remove the outer leaves from the head of cabbage, cut it in half along the length and cut out the cob.
We cut each of the halves with squares with an approximate rib size of 3-7 cm, or triangles, we should get a stack of leaves (that is, like a pellet). Beets are cleaned and washed thoroughly, as well as carrots. Carrots cut into small straws, and the beet is slightly larger - brusochkami. We cut each clove of garlic into 2-4 parts. Cut the stem from a pod of bitter pepper, cut the pod along and remove the seeds (chop the peppers into pieces, if we cook in a saucepan, if we roll up a salad in a jar - you can do it whole).
Now put everything in the jar: first beets, then garlic and pepper, on top of carrots and cabbage.
We prepare marinade-fill: boil the water for 5 minutes with the addition of spices, sugar, salt (you must dissolve completely). Add the vinegar and butter.
If you cook for direct use, we cool the marinade (in a saucepan) and pour in the vegetables. From above put a plate or cover of smaller diameter than a pan, and set the oppression of the day to 3-4. Let the pan stand in a cool place.
If prepared, canned, then pour the vegetables in jars with a hot marinade, roll up the cans, turn over and cover for gradual cooling. In the cold season, such vitamin blanks seriously diversify our table. In principle, you can simply close the cans with plastic covers, just keep it in cool.
