Pepper Hash - American Pikliz Recipe

Name: Pepper Hash - American Pikliz
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 head cabbage, white, sliced as this as you can; 2 medium green peppers, sliced super thin; 4 teaspoons celery seeds; 3 teaspoons mustard seeds; 16 tablespoons white sugar; 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar; 1 cup white vinegar; 3 1/2 teaspoons salt; 2 teaspoons black pepper; 4 scotch bonnet peppers (optional) or 4 habanero peppers (optional)

1
Combine the vinegars. Add the sugar and salt to the vinegars, and stir until they've dissolved.
2
Slice the cabbage as thinly as you can. I do it by hand and it is fairly tedious (this is the reason for the long prep-time in the recipe). Another option is to use the food processor, which results in a dish the consistency of KFC slaw; Be careful - it is really easy to end up with cabbage mush.
3
Seed & slice the green pepper, also very thinly.
4
If using the scotch bonnets or habaneros, seed & slice those super thinly. These are really spicy peppers (for those unfamiliar); handling them can burn your hands, and the burn can last a few days. I use disposable gloves when I cook with scotch bonnets or habaneros.
5
Place the cabbage, green peppers, and all spices and seeds in a large container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the vinegar mixture over it. Shake.
6
The pepper hash can be eaten immediately. The flavor meld well over time. It lasts in the fridge for several weeks.
