Turnip Sauerkraut Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 medium turnip, peeled and grated
- 1/2 head of cabbage, shredded
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions:
- Combine the grated turnip, shredded cabbage, and caraway seeds in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the sea salt and mix well, using your hands to massage the vegetables until they release some liquid.
- Pack the mixture tightly into a quart-sized jar or crock, making sure to press it down firmly with your fists or a wooden spoon.
- Place a weight on top of the vegetables to keep them submerged in their liquid. This could be a small plate or a plastic bag filled with water.
- Cover the jar or crock with a towel or cheesecloth to allow air to circulate while keeping out debris.
- Allow the turnip sauerkraut to ferment at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, checking it every few days to make sure it stays submerged and doesn’t grow any mold on the surface.
- Once it’s reached your desired level of tanginess, taste and adjust seasoning as needed before storing in the refrigerator.
Verdict:
This turnip sauerkraut recipe is an easy way to add some fermented veggies to your diet. The combination of turnips and cabbage gives it a unique flavor, and the caraway seeds add a nice touch of spice. It pairs well with grilled meats or can be used as a topping for sandwiches or salads.
