Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 head green cabbage cored and shredded
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a large pot over high heat, combine 1 cup water, ½ cup vinegar, and sliced onion. Bring to a gentle boil.
  2. Add shredded cabbage, salt, celery seeds, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir to coat evenly in the brine.
  3. Pour remaining ½ cup vinegar over the cabbage mixture, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender-crisp and brine has slightly thickened.
  5. Remove from heat. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a clean jar or bowl. Serve warm or chilled.
