Quick Provençal-Style Cabbage

Quick Provençal-style cabbage is a crunchy marinated side dish made with white cabbage, bell pepper, carrot and garlic. The marinade needs no cooking, and after one night under a weight in the fridge the cabbage is fully ready by morning. I recommend this good old recipe - buon appetito!

• Press the cabbage with your hands just a little - it should stay crunchy.
• Taste the cabbage after mixing and add more seasoning if needed.
• A jar filled with water or tomatoes works well as a weight.
