Side Dish
Equipment
2 2-cups Mason Jars
(Wide Mouth is best)
2
Airtight lid (recommended)
2
Airlock (optional)
Ingredients
900
g
carrots
(or enough to fill two 500ml jars)
20
g
salt
2
teaspoons
black pepper
2
slices
orange (with the peel)
Enough water to cover the carrots
Steps
Pour 2 teaspoons of salt (10 g) into each jar.
Add the pepper.
Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks.
Slide an orange slice down the side of each jar (to make it pretty).
Stack the carrot sticks vertically until they are firmly packed and cannot rise during fermentation.
Pour in water to submerge the carrots (nothing should stick out).
Close and stir the jars to dissolve the salt.
Make sure the lids are not too tight, so that the pressure can release naturally during fermentation.
Place the jars on a small plate to collect any excess liquid.
Leave to ferment at room temperature for about 3 weeks (or more).
Open the jar and enjoy!
