Fermented coleslaw salad is the next step of regular salad. This one is rich in probiotic and is a great addition to the heavier dishes that include meat.
Ingredients:
1 white cabbage
400 g (14 oz) carrots
400 g (14 oz) celery
2 apples
1 red onion
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
About 15 g (3 tsp) salt
Instructions:
Fermented coleslaw preparation
Remove the first damaged or dirty leaves from the cabbage until the beautiful leaves are intact. Cut the cabbage in 4 and remove the central core. Chop the cabbage very finely. Peel and grate the carrot on a large grater. Do the same with the celery. Core the apple and cut it into thin strips. Peel and chop the onion.
Weigh the vegetables (you get about 1.5 kg) and prepare 1% salt. Combine the vegetables, apple, spices and salt in a large bowl. Leave to rest for 15 minutes. Mix again by squeezing everything with your hands to release the juices. You must have wet hands.
Fill the fermenter with the vegetables (and juice), pressing down each layer. The juice should rise up and submerge the vegetables. Fill to the top line of the jar. Place the weight, spring and cover. Close tightly.
Leave for 7 days at room temperature, then ideally put in a cool room. Fermented coleslaw can be consumed after 10 days, but much better after 1 month. Can be stored for years.
