Curtido
Curtido is a traditional Salvadoran cabbage slaw, known for its tangy and slightly fermented flavor. It is typically served as a condiment alongside pupusas, tacos, and other Central American dishes.
Preparation
-
Combine the sliced cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced onion in a large mixing bowl.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, water, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes to create the dressing.
-
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until the vegetables are well coated.
-
If using, add the sliced jalapeños or other hot peppers to the mix and stir to combine.
-
Transfer the mixture to a jar or airtight container, pressing down the cabbage so it's submerged in the liquid as much as possible.
-
Let the curtido ferment at room temperature for at least 2 hours. For a stronger flavor, you can leave it overnight or for up to 48 hours.
-
Once fermented to your liking, refrigerate the curtido to stop the fermentation process. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
