Prep time
10
minutesIngredients
1/2 head of cabbage (thinly sliced)
2 medium carrots (shaved)
1 white onion (thinly sliced)
1 jalapeño (thinly sliced)
3 tablespoons of white vinegar
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of Mexican oregano (optional)
Directions
- Combine the ingredients and mix well
Notes
- You can make various substitutions or additions. Try one or more of the following:
– Red cabbage instead of green cabbage
– Serrano pepper instead of jalapeño
– Apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar
– Add 1 clove of garlic (minced)
– Add 2 tablespoons of oil
– Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper - The flavor will develop the longer the curtido ferments, so make it the night before serving.
