Preparation Time 20 minutes
Fermentation Time 21 days

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg carrots (2.2lb)
  • 4 tablespoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 to 3 cloves garlic
  • ⅓ to ½ cup dried seaweed (kombu, wakame, etc.)

Steps
 

  • Peel the carrots if desired. With a vegetable peeler and a little patience, make carrot strips. Otherwise, use a food processor, a cheese grater or mandolin to speed up the process.
  • Mince the garlic and ginger, and break the seaweed into large pieces.
  • Place the carrots in a bowl with the salt, ginger, garlic and seaweed.
  • Massage everything with your hands for a few minutes until the carrots start to let out water.
  • Transfer to a glass jar or fermentation jar, in small batches, each time compressing the carrots with your hand or with a pestle. The liquid produced should submerge the carrots.
  • To prevent carrot pieces from rising to the surface, place a fermentation weight on the contents.
  • Close the lid without tightening it too much, to let some pressure escape during fermentation.
  • Place the jar on a small plate to collect any excess liquid.
  • Leave to ferment at room temperature for 3 weeks (or more).
