Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 0.5 cup White vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and discard. Slice the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly shred the leaves using a sharp knife or mandoline.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor.

Step 3

Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced onion.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, mix together the white vinegar, water, dried oregano, kosher salt, sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until the salt and sugar dissolve.

Step 6

Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the curtido rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Transfer the curtido to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. For best flavor, let it sit for 24 hours before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy curtido as a zesty topping for pupusas, tacos, or grilled meats, or serve it as a refreshing side dish.
