This seems like such a simple and easy to follow recipe – I like the different spices you’ve included in with the sauerkraut – it seems like coriander and turmeric are pretty common spices to include when I look at most of the recipes on the internet. I like the idea of adding cumin and mustard seeds too! I am curious to know how much of a flavor profile this adds to the sauerkraut once its all said and done. Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to check back once I’ve made it and share the end product!
Actually the spices make a big difference and you can add any spices you like! ;0)
