Mix cabbage with 1 tsp mustard seeds and 3 tsp nigella seeds, then pack tightly into a clean jar.
Top with a reserved cabbage leaf, pour over the brine until fully submerged, and add a weight.
Ferment at room temperature, tasting from day 3. After about 1 week, seal and refrigerate. Enjoy for up to 2–3 months.
