Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and peel the fresh vegetables. Cut them into sticks or rounds as preferred.

  2. 2

    Make the Brine

    In a bowl, combine the filtered water and sea salt. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved to create the brine.

Fermentation Process

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    Layer the cut vegetables in the glass fermentation jar, adding minced garlic, dill, and black peppercorns between the layers for flavor.

  2. 4

    Add the Brine

    Pour the brine over the layered vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. If necessary, use a weight or small plate to keep them under the brine.

  3. 5

    Cover the Jar

    Cover the jar with a clean cloth or cheesecloth to allow airflow while keeping dust out. Secure it with a rubber band if needed.

Fermentation Time

  1. 6

    Fermentation Period

    Let the jar sit at room temperature (around 65-75°F) for 5-7 days. Check daily to ensure the vegetables stay submerged in the brine.

  2. 7

    Taste Test and Refrigerate

    After 5-7 days, taste the vegetables. Once they reach your desired tanginess, transfer the jar to the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process.
