turmeric sauerkraut

This sauerkraut goes through a preserving process called fermentation. This fascinating process creates vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and of course, probiotics.

Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Sauerkraut

cabbage

tsp salt (like pink salt

tsp dry turmeric (could also use freshly grated)

tsp black pepper

garlic

jalapeño pepper chopped small or grated (optional)

ginger root

Wash cabbage and tear a large leaf off of the outside of the cabbage and set aside.

In a large bowl use a mandolin slicer or grater to grate cabbage into the bowl.

Mix in all other ingredients. I use a hand grater for the garlic, jalapeño, and ginger.

With a glove or a plastic bag on your hand massage cabbage. Mixing all the ingredients evenly in while you squeeze cabbage and massage to release juices from the cabbage. You can also use a kraut pounder for less mess!

After a few minutes massaging, cabbage should be about half size and you should have a good bit of liquid.

By the handfuls put kraut into a glass jar, packing it down tightly in the jar. Fill the jar leaving an inch headspace or so.

Push kraut down tightly allowing the liquid to rise above the cabbage in the jar.

Pour any remaining liquid from the bowl in your jar, so that the cabbage is under the liquid. Place large cabbage leaf on top (you can cut down if needethis will help hold the cabbage below the liquid.

Seal jar and set out of the sun on your counter.

Release any pressure build up daily by opening lid. (it will stink haha)

Keep on counter until desired taste is developed. ( a week or 2) Taste every few days.

It should be bubbly and sour tasting.

If you see any mold, toss and restart. (I've never had this happen)

Enjoy and be healthy!

Easy Spicy Sauerkraut with Turmeric

green cabbage

sea salt salt

turmeric

red chili flakes

black peppercorns

Rinse and thinly slice cabbage.

Place in a large non-reactive bowl (stainless steel, plastic, wood, silcone) with salt.

Firmly massage with your hands, for about 5 minutes, or until all starts to reduce in size and begins to release liquid.

Add spices.

Continue to firmly massage, about 5 to 10 minutes longer until all has considerably reduced in size, become soft and quite a bit of liquid has been released (see pictures above in post).

Place the cabbage and the liquid (brine), into a sterilized (see ‘Tips’ above in post)jar. Pack and press down firmly with clean hands or a wooden/plastic utensil until the cabbage is securely placed and all is covered with the natural brine.

Cover with a lid or cheesecloth.

Place in a warm (not too cold) location away from direct sunlight for 2-3 weeks or until desired taste and texure is achieved.

If using a lid, open and release any pressure build up once a day and whether using a lid or cheesecloth, check every day to ensure all stays below the brine. You will need to press all down below the brine every few days, as it will naturally rise up during the fermentation process.

Begin tasting the sauerkraut around 2 weeks to test for taste and texture. Ferment for up to 4 weeks until desired taste and texture is achieved.

When you are happy with your sauerkraut, screw on a lid tightly and place in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Enjoy!
