There are many recipes for making sauerkraut. Today I propose making sauerkraut in its own juice without adding brine. In 3-4 days you can enjoy its unsurpassed taste. Sauerkraut according to this simple and proven recipe always turns out crispy, juicy and healthy. It can be eaten not only as a separate dish, but also added to salads and used as a side dish. Sauerkraut keeps well and does not lose its beneficial properties over time.

Remove any soiled or damaged outer leaves from the white cabbage, if any. Cut the cabbage into thin strips using a special shredder or a sharp knife. It is convenient to use a food processor with a vegetable shredding attachment. Transfer the vegetables to a deep dish.


Wash the carrots, peel them, and shred them into thin strips on a grater. Add the grated carrots to the shredded cabbage.


Add coarse-ground rock salt to the vegetables.


Add dill or caraway seeds. This step can be omitted if desired.


Thoroughly mash the vegetables by hand so that they release a lot of juice.


Transfer the vegetables to a dry enamel or glass container, tightly packing them down with a pestle. I used a large pot.


Cover the vegetables with a plate of a suitable diameter, and place a press on top. I used a glass jar filled with water for this purpose. Cover the pot with a towel. Leave the cabbage in a dark place at room temperature for 3 days. Twice a day, pierce the vegetables with a wooden stick to the bottom to release the gases that formed during fermentation.


In 3 days, taste the cabbage. If it is ready, transfer it to glass jars along with the juice, close the lids, and store in the refrigerator. If the vegetables are not ready yet, leave the cabbage for another 1 day.


Serve the sauerkraut with rings of green onions and unrefined sunflower oil.


Add crunchy and juicy sauerkraut to vinaigrette, borscht, kapusniak, or use it as a filling for closed pies, dumplings, and patties. Enjoy!

We prepare crispy and delicious sandwiches in the oven for breakfast. For the filling, we will use sausage, eggs, hard cheese, and favorite herbs. If desired, boiled sausage can be replaced with cervelat, ham, boiled chicken fillet, or homemade roast pork. In addition to hard cheese, mozzarella for pizza or suluguni are also suitable. Thanks to the butter mixed with spicy mustard, the sandwiches turn out very juicy and tender. They are perfect for a family breakfast and will make a hearty snack outdoors or on the go.

It is important that snacks on the festive table are not only delicious but also beautiful. I suggest making appetizing sandwiches with red fish and cherry tomatoes in the form of ladybugs. Such an original snack will pleasantly surprise guests and delight with beautiful presentation. For the recipe, lightly salted or smoked red fish is suitable: pink salmon, salmon, chum salmon, or trout. If desired, cream cheese can be replaced with butter.

The mock caviar made from herring, carrots, and eggs turns out to be incredibly tasty, tender, and healthy. The smoked cheese adds a special piquant note to the appetizer.

The ready pâté can be spread on slices of crispy bread, used as a filling for pancakes, lavash, or waffle tartlets. This serving is perfect for a festive table.

Today I will tell you a quick and easy recipe for making Korean-style carrots. The appetizer turns out to be very juicy, aromatic, and moderately spicy. The amount of spices and garlic can be adjusted to your taste. Coriander gives the appetizer a characteristic nutty-spicy note, and paprika – a slight smoky aroma. Additional ingredients for Korean-style carrots are sugar and apple cider vinegar, which give the vegetables a slight sweet and sour note. Delicious Korean-style carrots can be served as a cold appetizer or used for making salads, rolls, and other dishes.
