INGREDIENTS AND EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE AT CULTURES FOR HEALTH
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups grated carrots, tightly packed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix all ingredients and knead with clean hands or pound with a Cabbage Crusher to release juices.
- Transfer the mixture to a glass jar, pressing to submerge completely underneath the liquid. If necessary, use a fermentation weight to keep the vegetables under the liquid.
- Cover the jar with a tight lid, airlock lid, or coffee filter secured with a rubber band.
- Culture at room temperature (60-70°F is preferred) until desired flavor and texture are achieved. If using a tight lid, burp daily to release excess pressure.
- Once the carrots are finished, put a tight lid on the jar and move to cold storage. The flavor will continue to develop as it ages.
