Pickled Red Cabbage
(Mor LahanaTurşusu)
1/2 head of red cabbage
1 tbsp salt
For the pickling liquid:
2 cups water
1/2 cup vinegar
2 tbsp salt
1 tsp liquid oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
Remove and throw away the white center of the cabbage. Cut it in thin slices (julienne cut) on a wooden board, put into a large bowl. Sprinkle 1 tbsp salt all over and squeeze the cabbage pieces with your hand. Put aside for at least half an hour. This way the cabbage will soften and won't be bitter. Then rinse and drain.
Meanwhile, bring to boil water, vinegar, salt, liquid oil and lemon juice for 3-4 minutes into the pot. Turn the heat off. Put it aside to become tepid. Layer the cabbages into the large clean glass jar (or jars). Cover the cabbages with this water. You can discard the remaining water. Tightly cover the jar. Keep the jar upside down. Keep it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days before serving. Serve with any kind of Kebap or barbecued meat:)

Hi does this work with white cabbage ?

I think it would be fine:)
You say 2 Tbsp of salt. Is 1 of the Tbsp of salt to sprinkle on the cabbage and the other (1) Tablespoon of salt for the vinegar/water/lemon juice mixture?
Also, do you boil the cabbage in the water or just pour the water over the cabbage?
