Fermented Winter Radish


An easy and delicious outlet for radishes. We see this as a way to extend the seasons of specific ingredients and don't stop with radishes. This is a basic formula for lacto-fermentation. Just like sauerkraut or kimchi. Consider cabbage carrots and turnips as well. Enjoy with a range of dishes from rice to salads to hotdogs. This is a versatile ingredient for the home.


Ingredients:

  • ½ lb (227g) Fall or winter radishes shaved on a mandoline

  • 1 ½ tsp (8g) kosher salt

Directions:

  • With your hands mix radishes thoroughly and evenly with salt until it is dissolved and transfer to a small jar or glass container.

  • Press the radishes into the bottom of the glass until the water from the radishes cover the surface.

  • Place a bowl on the surface of the radishes to ensure they stay below the surface of the brine.

  • Cover loosely with plastic film.

  • Allow the radishes to ferment on the counter for two to three days before transferring to the refrigerator.
