Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons erythritol
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves and core from the cabbage. Thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline.
Thinly slice the red onion and set it aside.
Place the cabbage and red onion in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle sea salt over the vegetables and toss to combine. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the cabbage to soften.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, erythritol, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, dried dill weed, crushed red pepper flakes, and bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the erythritol completely.
Once the mixture has reached a boil, remove it from the heat and carefully pour it over the cabbage and onion mixture. Make sure the liquid covers the vegetables entirely.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then transfer it to mason jars or airtight containers.
Seal the containers and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a keto-friendly side or as a tangy topping for your favorite keto dishes.
