Salgam Recipe

Salgam Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Carrots

   Wash the black carrots thoroughly and cut them into sticks or rounds. Place them in a large clean jar.

2. 2

   Make the Brine

   In a separate bowl, mix the water with salt until the salt dissolves completely. You can add spices if desired.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Pour the brine over the black carrots in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged. Add lemon juice and the fermentation starter if using.

4. 4

   Ferment

   Seal the jar loosely and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 to 7 days, checking daily. Taste occasionally to determine when it has reached your desired level of fermentation.

5. 5

   Store

   Once fermented, seal the jar tightly and store it in the refrigerator. The salgam can be enjoyed chilled as a refreshing drink.
