Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and discard. Slice the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly shred the leaves using a sharp knife or mandoline.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced onion.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the white vinegar, water, dried oregano, kosher salt, sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until the salt and sugar dissolve.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the curtido rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Transfer the curtido to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. For best flavor, let it sit for 24 hours before serving.
Enjoy curtido as a zesty topping for pupusas, tacos, or grilled meats, or serve it as a refreshing side dish.
