Ingredients

  • 500 g/ 1.1 lbs white cabbage
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or more to taste preferably a mild-tasting sunflower oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small bunch of parsley

Instructions

  • Slice the white cabbage as finely as possible. Place it in a bowl, mix it well with the salt and leave for half an hour.
  • Knead the cabbage shortly with your hand, transfer it to a colander, and wipe the bowl clean to remove the moisture and extra salt.
  • Take handfuls of the cabbage and squeeze them in your hand to release the extra moisture. Return the cabbage to the bowl.
  • Add the oil and the vinegar and some freshly ground black pepper. Stir well, until the cabbage salad starts to glisten. Taste and adjust (if necessary) with more salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil. It should taste rather sour and salty. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
  • It will keep well for several days in the fridge. Covered, of course.
