Easy sauerkraut

Side Serves 2 25 min

True sauerkraut ('sour cabbage') is fermented for days. This short-cut version is tart yet sweet and works well for a quick dinner . Not one for the purists! Serve with pork or veggie sausages and mash. Any you don't eat will keep well for a few days in a jar.
