Ingredients
Instructions
-
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and slice it thinly, either with a knife or a mandoline. Place the sliced cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the finely chopped cilantro to the bowl with the cabbage. Squeeze the juice of the limes over the cabbage and cilantro mixture. Sprinkle the sea salt on top.
-
With clean hands, gently massage and squeeze the cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, and sea salt together until the cabbage starts to soften and release its liquid.
-
Transfer the cabbage mixture into a clean and sterilized glass jar, pressing it down firmly to ensure the cabbage is submerged in its own juices.
-
Cover the jar loosely with a clean cloth or paper towel, securing it with a rubber band. Place the jar in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to ferment.
-
Check the kraut every day to release any built-up gas and press the cabbage down to keep it submerged in liquid.
-
Start tasting the kraut after 3-5 days and continue fermenting until it reaches your preferred flavor.
-
Once satisfied, secure the jar with a lid and store it in the refrigerator to halt the fermentation process.
-
Enjoy the Fermented Cilantro Lime Kraut as a condiment or side dish.
