Prep Time 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 heads cabbage
  • 2 tbsp sea salt

Method
 

  1. Remove outer leaves of each cabbage head
  2. Chop cabbage into smaller chunks, removing the core. Shred in food processor.
  3. Add all shredded cabbage to a large bowl, and add sea salt.
  4. Massage cabbage until brine forms. When you can squeeze the cabbage and it's dripping with brine, it's ready.
  5. Add all cabbage to a 1/2 gallon mason jar. Top off with remaining brine.
  6. Place excess cabbage leaves in the jar to keep the shredded cabbage below the brine line. Top with a weight.
