Classic Cabbage Recipe
Description
This appetizer is quick and easy to make. The cabbage is quite simple to prepare. The essential vegetables here are cabbage and bell pepper; carrots can be added if you like. I really enjoy it combined with cabbage and bell pepper. “Provencal” cabbage tastes great both 3 hours after preparation and several days later. The appetizer is ready. Serve right away.

Step 8
Now you need to place the salad under a press. To do this, tamp it down well again, cover the top with a plate of suitable size, and place a weight on top—a jar of water or a pitcher will work. Leave the cabbage for at least 2 hours, preferably 5–6.
