Happy Fermentation Friday! Today we’re veering away from sauerkrauts and beverages to look at fermented breads. Specifically sourdough bread! Sourdough has to be one of my favorites, it’s a bread I remember loving as a kid. My first affair with carbs if you will. Toasted with a bit of butter, there’s nothing better than when …
It’s a gloomy fermentation Friday where I live, but rain is always good. Today I wanted to share a recipe for how to use sauerkraut by pairing our favorite ferment with my other favorite food. Sushi. Or more appropriately termed, maki. Maki /ˈmäkē/ • noun a Japanese dish consisting of sushi and raw vegetables wrapped in seaweed. Since I …
Today’s Fermentation Friday is dedicated to making soy yogurt using water kefir grains. As you’re about to learn it’s very easy and super tasty! While making the water kefir I couldn’t help but think about the variety of ferments and what gets them going. Sauerkraut uses salt to prohibit the growth of bad bacteria, but time and good bacteria …
To my fermenting friends, I am sorry it has been so long since a proper sauerkraut or fermentation post of any kind. Please follow me on Instagram for timely updates in that arena and to see how I incorporate ferments into my daily eats. I have enough pictures and ideas that I could start Fermentation …
I’ve officially made the most sauerkraut at one time, 25 liters to be exact. Back in late November or early December I decided to get a couple of batches going. I wanted to try out my new Craigslist crocks and of course I had to try them both. 😉 I meant to use only one of …
I realize that it has been forever since I’ve shared a sauerkraut recipe or even given updates. I’m sorry about that and I assure you I am still here fermenting away. Promise. It has been a slower year of sauerkraut production mainly because I was gone the beginning of this year to stay in Illinois …
I’m at a loss of what to name this latest batch of sauerkraut because it’s actually still fermenting as we speak and only 4 days in. For now I’m going to go with Slaw Sauerkraut because it shares many of the same vegetables lending to the uncanny resemblance. This will be the first time I’ve …
Yesterday I opened our 6th batch of sauerkraut that fermented for 6 weeks. No more 6 references after that though we don’t want this to get scary. We still have a month and a half until Halloween. I broke 2 ‘first time’ barriers with this batch, it was the first time doing a 6 week …
All of this could be yours…. Say goodbye to really good, but overpriced raw fermented goodness… Instead, say hello to, extremely cheap (after an initial lifetime investment), extremely delicious raw fermented sauerkraut… What’s that? You say you don’t like sauerkraut? Neither did Jeremy and now he’s addicted. When we have it in the fridge …
I recently posted about how to make your own pineapple vinegar and I’m getting recipe requests for the smoothie I pictured. Thank goodness I took pictures because I didn’t write it down. A quick note on me and greens. After I add the fruit, I pretty much just add greens until my blender is full, …
