This easy-to-make, small-batch fermentation is perfect for anyone looking to explore the world of fermented foods. Enjoy them as a snack, a crunchy salad topping, or alongside sandwiches for an added zing.

  • 100ml water
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 garlic clove (optional)

  • Sodium: 150mg

PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Brine: Dissolve the sea salt in 100ml of water, stirring well until thoroughly mixed. This will serve as the fermentation liquid for the radishes.
  • Slice The Radishes: Thinly slice the radishes into uniform pieces. This ensures even fermentation and consistent texture.
  • Add Garlic (Optional): If using garlic, peel and slightly crush the garlic clove to release its flavours. Add it to the jar for an extra layer of flavour.
  • Combine In Jar: Place the sliced radishes into a clean, sterilised jar. Pour the brine over the radishes until they are fully submerged.
  • Fermentation: Ensure the radishes are fully submerged in the brine by pressing them down with a fermentation weight or a clean, small object. Cover the jar loosely with a lid or cloth, allowing gases to escape during fermentation.
  • Store And Wait: Place the jar at room temperature for 3 to 5 days. The radishes will develop a tangy flavour as they ferment. Taste the radishes after 3 days and decide if you’d like a stronger flavour by fermenting it longer.

PREP TIME

10 minutes

COOKING TIME

3-5 days fermentation

TIPS

  • Ensure Submersion: Keep the radishes completely submerged in the brine to avoid spoilage. Use a fermentation weight or similar object to press them down.
  • Taste As You Go: After 3 days, start tasting the radishes to find your preferred level of tanginess. The longer you ferment, the stronger the flavour.
  • Room Temperature: To ensure proper bacterial activity, keep the jar in a cool, dark place during fermentation, ideally at room temperature (18-22°C).

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Radishes: Add a few slices of fresh jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Herb-Infused: Add a sprig of fresh dill or rosemary to the jar for a herby, fragrant flavour.
  • Colourful Mix: Mix different vegetables, such as carrots or cucumbers, along with the radishes for a multi-textured, colourful fermentation.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • In The Fridge: After fermentation, store the radishes in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last for up to 1 month in the refrigerator.
  • Freezing: Fermented radishes are not suitable for freezing, as the texture will become mushy once thawed.
