Features of using turmeric
The recipes are not very complicated and consist of readily available ingredients. It is made with various additives. For example, with beets, carrots, peppers and other spices. But there is one option that is not often found on our tables - cabbage with turmeric.
Adding this bright spice to vegetables changes not only the taste. Turmeric changes the color of the snack, giving it an unusual sunny hue. It is a “close relative” of ginger. When it contains a large amount of essential oils, it has a slightly pungent taste.
For pickling, you can use either regular white cabbage or cauliflower. But you need to know a few basic rules for choosing this vegetable so that the result does not disappoint.
- Choose medium or large size forks. As a rule, such a vegetable turns out to be juicier. The fork must be elastic.
- It is better to choose medium-ripening cabbage rather than one intended for long-term winter storage. The leaves of such a head of cabbage are more elastic, and the finished snack will be juicy and crispy.
Cabbage marinated with turmeric
To prepare you need:
- one kg of white cabbage, carrots, a small head of garlic;
- 4–5 pieces each of bay leaves, allspice, clove inflorescences, 100 g sugar, 1.5 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp turmeric;
- 50 ml refined sunflower oil, 100 ml. 9% vinegar.
- Cut the forks into large squares with a side of about 3 cm. Grate the carrots. You can use a grater for Korean carrots, so the finished snack will look more impressive. Cut the garlic into thin slices.
