Larger outer leaves of the cabbage put aside. You will need it later for keeping the cabbage submerged in its liquid.2. Slice the Savoy cabbage and carrots with slicer or knife to very fine, tiny pieces. Or shred in food processor.3. Cut the onion, garlic and ginger into small pieces.4. Put all Ingredients into a bowl and mix well.5. Let it sit for about 30 min, so that the cabbage becomes watery and limp.Turmeric Sauerkraut Recipe, stanka vukelic6. Put everything into a jar (I use a 64oz/2l wide-mouth mason jar). Tamp down the cabbage in the jar with your fist, and of course pour the released liquid in as well.7. Place one of the larger outer leaves of the cabbage over the surface of the sliced cabbage. This will help keep the cabbage submerged in its liquid.8. Place a weight on top. I use a smaller mason jar filled with water.9. Cover everything with a towel. Set in a cool place, out of sunlight for 7 days.10. Check the sauerkraut every day and press the weight down a few times to release gases, which are inside. Always keep everything covered with liquid.11. After 7 days, remove the leaves and place the finished sauerkraut in the refrigerator. It will last at least 9 months or longer in your fridge.Please note: If you see any mold on top just remove that part, because everything else which is in the liquid is safe to eat. Options:If needed, add extra liquid. If the liquid has not risen above the cabbage, dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of water and add enough to submerge the cabbage.
