Background

In Hungary, one of the most popular preserves is csalamádé which is a mixture of pickled cabbage, capsicum (sweet pepper), cucumber and spices. It's eaten during the winter with almost every meal. When I feel like having some, I make this version, which is a bit of a cheat because I just mix together jarred pickled/fermented vegetables. I call it vitamin salad because it's super healthy (particularly the sauerkraut). If you want it sweeter, you can add some honey to it - also, one raw carrot, grated, can be added. Serve it with grilled/fried meat and sausages or in sandwiches.

Ingredients

1 cup sauerkraut
1 small red onion
½ red or green pepper
1 gherkin
2 small cooked or pickled beetroot
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp olive oil
Honey, optional

Instructions

Put the sauerkraut into a mixing bowl.
Cut the pepper, onion, gherkin and beetroot into tiny pieces. Add these to the cabbage.
Add the parsley, oil, cider vinegar and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Taste and add more seasoning/vinegar to your liking. Add honey if you’d like it sweet.
Keep chilled until serving.
