Georgian Fermented Cabbage
Cabbage provides fiber and volume without excess carbs, while fermentation adds brighter flavor and beneficial organic acids. Bell pepper, garlic, and cilantro bring freshness and spice without heavy sauces. The result is a crisp chilled side or snack that fits well into a keto routine.
Prepare a clean jar. Thinly shred red cabbage (500 g) and white cabbage (200 g), cut bell pepper (130 g) into long strips, and slice red onion (30 g) into thin half-rings. Finely chop garlic (20 g) and cilantro (20 g), combine all vegetables with salt (18 g) and khmeli-suneli (2 g), then mix well and lightly massage until the cabbage starts releasing juice.
Pack the vegetables tightly into the jar, pressing each layer down so there is less trapped air and the released juice rises to the top. Make sure the vegetables stay covered with their own juice, leave a little headspace, and close the jar.
Leave the cabbage to ferment for 3 days at room temperature away from direct sunlight. If the top layer rises, press it back under the juice with a clean spoon. Once the taste becomes pleasantly sour and savory, move the jar to the refrigerator and serve the cabbage well chilled.
