The preparation time for making curtido is typically around 15-20 minutes. Since curtido is a fermented condiment and doesn't require cooking, there is no specific cook time. However, the flavors will develop and the vegetables will ferment over time, so it's best to let the curtido sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or refrigerate it for a few hours to overnight before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. So, the total time from preparation to serving would be around 2 hours to overnight, depending on how long you choose to let it sit.
