Krautsalad (German Coleslaw)
- 21 3/8 cups white cabbage finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper red - cut into cubes
- 1 sweet onion cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 5 5/8 tablespoons sugar
- 6 3/4 tablespoons vinegar
- 6 3/4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- ground black pepper to taste
- Cut the cabbage in thin stripes on a mandolin slicer. This is the most important task, as it will give the salad it's structure.
- In a big bowl slowly add salt to the shredded cabbage and squeeze with your hands massaging the salt into the cabbage until juicy. In a small saucepan pour vinegar, vegetable oil and add sugar.
- Bring to a boil and cook until sugar has dissolved. Pour boiling marinade over cabbage, pepper, and mix thoroughly, first with a spoon, to avoid burns, and then hands. At the same time, add the mustard.
- Fill in glas container (empty pickle glass is perfect for this). Cover and leave to infuse for a day at room temperature, then store in the refrigerator
