Fermented Fennel & Cucumber Recipe…
Ingredients
1 large cucumber, halved and sliced
1 small fennel bulb and leaves, finely sliced
1 onion, halved and sliced finely
Juice of 1/3 a large lemon
3 – 4 tbsp. kraut, kimchi or kefir juice
Filtered water to fill jar
2 tbsp. Himalayan or sea salt
Directions
- Place all ingredients (apart from the water) into a bowl and mix well
- Allow to stand for 10 – 15 mins, which will allow some of the juices to be extracted from the vegetables
- Place into a sterile jar and add enough water to cover vegetables
- Make sure to leave about 2.5 cm’s at the top free
- Use a cabbage leaf, a pebble (boiled), a bag of water, some wax paper or something else to weigh the whole lot down below the liquid
- Leave for 5 – 7 days, bumping (opening to let the gas out) every day and then consume. Place in the fridge once you start eating from the jar
