Hi! Curtido is such a fascinating dish with delicious variations around the world! In El Salvador, it's typically made with cabbage, carrots, and onions, fermented with oregano and lime juice, giving it a tangy and slightly spicy flavor. In Germany, a similar dish called sauerkraut often includes caraway seeds and is fermented longer, giving it a distinct sour taste. Korean kimchi is another variation, which uses napa cabbage, radishes, and a spicy chili paste for a flavorful kick. Each version has its own unique twist, making these pickled cabbage dishes a delightful global treat!
