General cooking rules step by step

Step one – preparing vegetables:

1. To prepare Bomba cabbage according to recipes, the vegetable is washed under running water, the upper leaves with wormholes or other damage are removed. The upper leaves are also removed if they are greenish, because Bomba needs white juicy cabbage. We shred the forks using any tools, the main thing is to get thin strips.
2. We wash the washed carrots, remove the skin and rinse. We rub it on a grater with large cells.

   

   The color of the pickled Bomba pellet will depend on the size of the carrot: if you want to get a white preservation, then this vegetable needs to be cut larger.

3. We wash the garlic cloves, from the upper scales and remove a thin film, rinse. We will grind it with the help of a press immediately into the connected vegetables.
4. We combine carrots and pelyustka in a large basin, mix.

Step two – prepare the marinade:

1. Pour 500 ml of pure water into the pan, add the ingredients indicated in the specific recipe, except for vinegar and sunflower oil. We put the marinade on the stove to cook.

   

2. We wait from the moment of boiling 7 minutes. Add oil and vinegar, boil for a couple of minutes and remove the pan from heat.

Step three – final

We shift the vegetables into a saucepan for pickling and pour them with hot marinade.

1. We put a plate on top of the pellet and set the load: a stone or a jar of water.
2. After 6-7 hours, we transfer the bomb cabbage into a jar, tamp it down, top it up with brine.

We send the container to the refrigerator. On the second day, you can use cabbage for salads. Bon appetit everyone!
