Description
This recipe comes from Caucasian, more specifically Georgian, cuisine. That is why, in addition to the traditional beets and marinade, the recipe uses fresh herbs. Cilantro is ideal, but parsley will work too. You can try the cabbage after just one day, but it keeps wonderfully in the refrigerator for quite a long time. Serve with herbs and sauce.
