Get ready to dive into the world of natural fermentation with our incredible Probiotic Fermented Carrots recipe. Beyond being a true flavor explosion, these pickles offer an abundance of health benefits.
Ingredients for Probiotic Fermented Carrots:
- 4 large carrots
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
- 1 cabbage leaf (green or red)
- approx. 2 cups of water (filtered is best)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt
Instructions:
- Prep the Carrots: Peel and cut the carrots into sticks or your desired shape. The size is up to you, but ensure they fit well inside your chosen glass jar.
- Prepare the Brine: Mix the water with the sea salt until fully dissolved. This brine is essential for fermentation and helps prevent the growth of unwanted bacteria.
- Assembly: In a clean glass jar, pack in the carrots and rosemary. Place the cabbage leaf on top; this acts as a weight to keep the carrots submerged during the fermentation process. Pack them snugly to avoid large gaps.
- Add the Brine: Pour the brine over the carrots until they are completely covered. Make sure all the carrots are fully submerged.
- Ferment: Cover the jar with a clean cloth or a breathable lid to keep out dust and debris. Store in a dark, cool place for at least five days. After this period, your fermented carrot pickles are ready to enjoy!
Pro Tip:
Feel free to experiment with different seasonings, such as black peppercorns, garlic cloves, or red chili flakes, to customize the flavor of your fermented carrots.
