The sauerkraut is ready!
This is definitely superior in taste to supermarket sauerkraut. It's also better quality, since mass-produced sauerkraut is pasteurised and contains little to no probiotic bacteria. This home-made kraut reminds me of some I got from the Lotus Heart stall at a Farmer's Market. Worth the effort.
I wish I'd planted more cabbages this year. The Programmer does the planting and purposely bought less cabbage seedlings. I do recall saying something about how much cabbage we had last year. It might have been 'ew, why so much cabbage?'.
:-/ Oops.
I've been mixing this kraut into salads to add some zing, and the plan for tonight's dinner is to use it to jazz up some vege sausages. I'm not generally a fan of tofu, but found some faux-sausies in the fridge, unused from Mamasana's party last weekend.
I think this basic fermentation procedure might work with other veges too. Has anyone tried that?

Yip - carrot and beetroot work really well too :) YUMMO!
ReplyDeleteooo.. do you do the salt massaging bit?
