Ukrainian Style Sauerkraut

Step 2: Chop Chop Chop

1.Chop up your cabbage. I use the thinnest setting on my Borner mandoline, my father can slice the cabbage almost as thin by hand and my grandmother likes her kraut chunkier -- it's really a matter of opinion. I feel like it reaches completion much faster if cut thinner.

2. Grate your carrots. Some people add their carrots after the cabbage has pickled all the way, but I prefer it when it's all done at the same time.
