Instant recipe
If you are short on time and want to try the appetizer, you can prepare instant Provencal cabbage. It is done quickly, and the ingredients required are very simple.
For one kilogram of fresh vegetables, prepare one bell pepper, one carrot and one large clove of garlic. Also for preparation you will need:
- 0.15 l of water, 0.07 l of vegetable oil;
- 50 g sugar, 1 level tablespoon of salt;
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (9%).
Sequencing:
- Finely chop the main product and place in a wide bowl. Add sugar and salt and lightly knead it with your hands. This is necessary so that the cutting gives juice and becomes a little softer.
- Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, remove the seeds from the pepper. Then cut into thin strips. Chop the garlic. Add vegetables to bowl.
- Heat the water a little, but not to a boil. Mix with vegetable oil and vinegar and pour the liquid mixture into a bowl with slices.
- Place a plate on the cutting and place a weight on it. This could be a saucepan or a jar of water. This design should be placed in the refrigerator or cellar for three hours.
After this, the appetizer can be served to the table or put into jars for further consumption. It is worth saying that a kilogram of cabbage yields very little finished product. Therefore, it is worth stocking up on at least a small fork so as not to be disappointed when the cooked kilogram quickly runs out.
Since the vegetable is sold in stores all year round and is prepared according to this recipe very quickly, there is no point in preparing it in large quantities at once. The maximum amount that is recommended to be taken at once is the amount that you can eat in two weeks. It is not worth storing it any longer.
Daily sauerkraut Provencal with garlic
- fresh white cabbage – 3 kg;
- garlic - 3 heads (in this case, you don’t have to worry about overdoing it with garlic; on the contrary, it will make the cabbage tastier);
- medium sized carrots – 5-6 pcs.
- Ingredients for the marinade: water – 1.5 l;
- sunflower oil – 1 cup;
- sugar – 1 glass;
- salt without top - 3-4 tbsp. spoons;
- table vinegar 9% - 1 glass;
- bay leaf (optional) – 2 pcs.;
- black peppercorns (optional) – 5-6 pcs.;
- cloves (optional) – 3 pcs.
Usually I don’t change the proportions and take exactly as much as indicated in the recipe. From 3 kg of fresh cabbage I get half a large pan of the finished product, which is enough for the whole family, and I even treat my neighbors. If you need to prepare a lot of this daily cabbage, multiply all ingredients by 2
Cooking method:
- Wash the head of cabbage, remove the top withered leaves and cut into small pieces.
- They also partly have the zest of daily cabbage. For fermentation, we chop it, but here it’s important to just cut it.
- We transfer it to a large container (it’s most convenient to put it in a basin) and add three peeled and washed carrots there. Mix with your hands.
- Before preparing the marinade, prepare the garlic: peel, wash and cut into thin slices. Pour water into a saucepan (I usually measure it in a liter jar), add sugar and salt, pour in oil, and put on high heat. When the marinade begins to boil, carefully transfer the garlic into it and let it boil.
- After this, immediately pour in the vinegar, boil for a few seconds and turn off. If you add garlic right away, it will turn blue, so throw it into almost boiling water.
- Transfer the chopped cabbage with grated carrots into a large container (I use a 10-liter pan), pour in the marinade and mix thoroughly.
I used to do it a little differently: I compacted some of the cabbage, poured in some of the marinade, added the rest and poured the remaining sauce over it. In this case, the way you place the cabbage will not affect its taste in any way.
That's all, all that remains is to put it under oppression for a day.
If you cook Provencal cabbage during the day, feel free to serve it the next morning. It will be sweet and sour and crispy, just the way it should be.
I don’t immediately put it into jars. For 3-4 days she stands under oppression in a large saucepan, marinating. Store the prepared day-old cabbage in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container.

Provencal cabbage - useful cooking tips
To prepare salads from fresh vegetables, choose summer and autumn varieties of cabbage: its leaves are more juicy and contain less coarse fiber.
Salt, sugar and acidic ingredients speed up the release of vegetable juices. Therefore, adding sauce or dressing to the salad just before serving will keep the dish fresh.
To make the dressing more aromatic, make a preparation: put fresh herbs into the purified oil, having previously crushed them, heat the oil, cool without opening the bottle or jar, and put the container in a dark place. After a couple of months, strain the oil and use it to prepare any dishes. The aromatic oil will greatly decorate salads made from fresh vegetables.
