Home Made  Sauerkraut 

4/13/2013

40 Comments

 
One of the things that we love to do in our kitchen is make home made fermented cabbage. Making this delicious and health supportive condiment is fun, empowering, while at the same time connects us to the traditions of our ancestors.   

Fermented foods enable beneficial organisms to colonate our intestines which in turn support our digestive track in breaking down foods in addition to boosting our immune system by preserving the balance between beneficial and harmful organisms.  

By following these simple steps, you will have an abundant supply of health cultivating sauerkraut to be enjoyed with any meal.   Have fun. 

Supplies:

1. Two Large clean bowls, (One bowl slightly smaller than the largest) 

2. Clean Wooden Spoon

2. One 5 pound object 

3. Clean Cloth 

4. Clean Mason Jars 





Ingredients and Assembly:

Ingredients: 

1. 2 Small cabbage heads 

2. 2 Garlic cloves 

3. 1 Small onion 

4. 3 Stalks celery 

5. 3 Carrots (Un peeled) 

6. Spices: 
  • 3 TBSP Sea Salt, 
  • 1 TBSP Cumin seed, 
  • 2 tsp Red Chile flakes

Assembly: 

1. Roughly chop all veggies and place in the larger bowl. 

2. Place the Salt in with the veggies and stir. 

3. Loosely cover the bowl with the cloth and allow the Salt to sit for 60 minutes. 

4. After juices emerge from the veggies, stir in the spices.

Compression:

Place the smaller bowl in the lager bowl and within the smaller bowl, place your weighted object. 

For our weighted object, we used a cast iron pot as seen in the photo. 

Cover, Brine, and Monitor: 

Picture
Place the clean cloth over the bowls. 

A Brine, or salty liquid accumulation will slowly rise in between the edges of the larger and smaller bowl within the first day. If this has not established itself, check your weight. 

This Brine will enable the alchemy of fermentation to occur in an environment that does not breed bacteria. 

It is best to clean the surface of the inserted smaller bowl every 3 days with water and a clean cloth. This step also allows you to monitor your veggies.  

Depending on the temperature of the room the fermentation can take about 7 - 14 days.  You may also taste the veggies during your monitoring. 


Preserving:

Once the veggies have reached the desired taste levels.  Place the veggies in the clean mason Jars and cover with lid. 

Place in refrigerator. 

The veggies will continue to ferment and deepen their flavor over time and may remain unused for 6 months.

Wow, it is really nice to see an emphasis on fermentation. I am convinced that the research of Weston A. Price, http://www.westonaprice.org/, points us to the ideal of a more traditional diet, which means looking at carefully preparing grains (soaking, sourdough, sprouting) and an emphasis on using fermentation as a complement to a healthy balanced diet of organic veges and fruits, pastured meat with lots of fat, dairy which is whole, and preferably raw, from pastured, organically fed animals only! The intestinal health of our gut is integral for a health mind and body, as I learned when studying with Natasha McBride, MD, who trains us on what she calls the GAPS protocol, www.gaps.me. Mindful cooking and the purchasing of our food is the way to true health.
