Step 1

Cut the ends off the onions and peel them.

Step 2

Place the onions in a glass jar for fermenting.

Step 3

Dissolve the salt into the water to make a brine. Mix in the culture – if you are using one.

Step 4

Pour the brine over the onions. The onions will float, so use a weight to keep them submerged below the brine.

Step 5

Leave the onions somewhere cool and dark to ferment. Ferment for 1 week.

Step 6

After fermenting, store in the fridge and use within 1-2 months.
