Probiotic-Rich Fermented Carrots
Serves 12
1 L warm water 4 tsp salt 4 carrots, medium, peeled, sliced
1 clove garlic, smashed (optional)
Instructions
Make a brine by dissolving the salt in water.
Place carrots into a clean jar, packing them in tight. Make sure to leave about 2 cm of head space at the top.
Fill the jar with brine, making sure to cover the carrots completely. Weigh the carrots down to make sure they don't float (you can use a "fermenting weight").
Close the jar and let it sit at room temperature for 1-4 days. The longer it sits, the more the flavor will develop. Feel free to open and taste.
Serve & enjoy!
Tip: Use this as a side dish, or even a snack.
