How to Make Curtido
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 medium head of cabbage and blanch for no more than 1 minute. Immediately transfer the cabbage to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Drain the cabbage thoroughly and roughly chop it.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped cabbage with:
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced white onion
- 1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- Mix everything thoroughly to combine.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
- Serve chilled alongside your favorite pupusas. Enjoy!
