Sauerkraut
Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free
Yield: about 1 1/2 quarts (serves 8) / Prep time: 15 minutes / Total time: about 3-5 days
Adapted from a recipe on the Kitchn.
I have loved the tangy flavor of sauerkraut since I was a kid, and recently I've especially liked the fancy kinds you find in the refrigerated section of the grocery. These unpasteurized sauerkrauts insure that the beneficial probiotics remain in the fermented product. Those can be pretty pricey, though! Make your own at home for a fraction of the price and flavor it how you like it! Even though it may look like a lot of instructions, this recipe is actually quite easy. And massaging vegetables is fun! For other massaging veggies recipes, check out Lemony Kale Salad with Roasted Chickpeas and Garlic Croutons and Festive Kale Salad with Sweet Apple Cinnamon Vinaigrette & Pecan Parmesan. For other fermented foods, check out Soft Gruyere and any of the sourdough recipes.

*Red cabbage, Napa cabbage, and other cabbages all make great sauerkraut, and you can also mix and match for color and texture variation! **If you have a canning funnel, this will make the job easier. ***A clean silicone sealable container lid with a similar circumference to the jar also works well here. We're just looking to keep the cabbage evenly submerged in liquid. ****You can transfer the finished sauerkraut to smaller glass containers, if desired. |
