I've never blogged before so hopefully I figure out some cool things to make my blog better each time! I've never fermented anything before but I do enjoy a good kombucha :)
As much as I like kombucha, and know folks who make their own, I have decided to make fermented carrot sticks!
I enjoy eating carrots and they are an easy snack to take on the go and pack for lunch. OH and they're healthy! Here's the plan I am planning on following for this project.
Ingredients:
- 1 quart water
- 1-3 tablespoons sea salt
- 2-3 pounds carrots, cut into sticks
Instructions:
- Dissolve salt in water.
- Place the carrot sticks in the jar and pour the liquid over the carrots, leaving 1-2 inches headspace.
- If necessary, weigh the carrots down under the brine to keep them submerged.
- 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 the carrots age.
Makes approximately 2 quarts.
