Atchara (Filipino Pickled Red Cabbage)

This pickled red cabbage is a Filipino recipe that uses a cold-flash-pickling method. Sour flavors are important in Filipino cooking, and quick pickles like this both heighten the sourness and serve as palate-cleansers, balancing and cutting through fattier dishes. Store in the refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 pound red cabbage, finely shredded

  • ½ cup spiced cane vinegar (or coconut vinegar)

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 Thai chile, chopped

Directions

  1. Toss cabbage with vinegar, sugar, coriander, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Massage spices into cabbage using your hands. Adjust seasoning as desired with additional sugar or salt. Stir in Thai chile. Cover and chill until sugar and salt dissolve, at least 30 minutes.

Cook's Notes

This cold-flash-pickling method works with all kinds of vegetables (green papaya, radishes, and carrots are traditional), but red cabbage is an easy and gorgeous place to start.

Thai chiles (also called bird chiles) are small and slender and may be green or red. For less spice, leave whole; for more spice, chop.
