Curtido Cabbage Slaw

Ingredients

• 1/2 head cabbage, finely shredded
• 1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced
• 2 carrots
• 4 cups boiling water
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• Salt, to taste
• 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced (optional)

Preparation Instructions

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
2. Place cabbage in a fine mesh strainer. Very slowly pour boiling water over the
   cabbage. Rinse with cold water. Drain well, pressing out as much water as possible.
3. Add cabbage to a large bowl. Add carrot, onion, jalapeno, oregano and vinegar
   and toss well to combine. Tip: Put all ingredients above in a large bowl with a
   sealed lid then shake to combine.
4. Curtido tastes best after it has marinated for several hours or days, but you can
   enjoy it fresh if you'd like.
5. Store Curtido in a covered container or mason jar for up to 1 week in the
   refrigerator.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with InstantPot-prepared Tasty Pulled Pork as a topping or side.
