4) Then lay out the cabbage, cover and put under pressure.

The cabbage should ferment for two or three days at room temperature. During this time, it is necessary to pierce it to the bottom so that carbon dioxide can escape.

If foam appears, it should be removed with a slotted spoon. In a week, the cabbage will be ready for consumption.
