Recipe - Quick Cabbage And Carrot Pickle

3 cup Thinly cut or sliced up cabbage
1 Carrot; cut into julienne
; strips
1 tablespoon Salt
One half cup Distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoon Sugar

In a 9inchsquare microwavesafe baking dish combine the cabbage, the
carrot, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and 4 cups water, cover the mixture with
microwavesafe plastic wrap, leaving one corner uncovered, and microwave it
at high power (100%) for 5 minutes. Drain the vegetables and transfer them
to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking. Drain the vegetables,
pat them dry between several thicknesses of paper towels, and transfer them
to a bowl. In a small bowl stir together the vinegar, the remaining 1
teaspoon salt, and the sugar until the sugar is dissolved, pour the liquid
over the vegetables, and chill the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 20
minutes. Serve the pickled vegetables with fried chicken or grilled meats.

Makes about 4 cups.
