A sour and crunchy German-style fermented cabbage pickle made by naturally fermenting cabbage and salt for 5 days.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Since sauerkraut is a natural lactic acid fermentation, the most critical point is to sanitize tools and wear gloves to prevent harmful bacteria from entering.
  • The liquid from the cabbage must completely cover the solids to block oxygen exposure, preventing mold or yeast from forming and ensuring proper fermentation.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a clean side dish that pairs perfectly with heavy Western meat dishes like sausages, Schweinshaxe, or pastrami.
  • Those who want to enjoy the deep, natural sourness of lactic acid fermentation rather than the sharp tang of artificial vinegar.
  • Those who want to make a very economical and shelf-stable homemade pickle using just cabbage and salt.
