Sauerkraut

Ingredients

  • Green cabbage (red cabbage also neat!)

  • Salt

Method

  • Wash the cabbage
  • Cut the thick core and stem, discard
  • Cut the cabbage finely
  • Place in a large bowl
  • Add salt, massage it well, keep going till there's lots of liquid
  • Add to your fermentation jar
  • Push down till its covered in its own juices
  • Place a cabbage leaf on top to help ensure no air gets to the cabbage
  • Add a fermentation weight
  • Lid on, airlock if possible
  • Ferment for ~ 7 days, if not using airlock, open jars to "burp" em every 3-4 days
  • Once ready, will keep in fridge up to three months. But usually best in the first month.

Notes

  • Salt weight should be 2-3% of the weight of the cabbage
  • Whole peppercorns, caraway seeds, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, garlic, dill, fresh ginger, or other lil spices can be a nice addition
