PREPARATION

These steps are followed for the preparation of Fermented Radishes With Garlic Sea Salt Brined:

• Prepare The Brine: Dissolve the sea salt in 100 millilitres 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 and 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 and 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 them longer.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for the preparation of Fermented Radishes With Garlic Sea Salt Brined:

• 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 and dark place during fermentation, ideally at room temperature.

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 and fragrant flavour.
• Colourful Mix: Mix different vegetables, such as carrots or cucumbers, along with the radishes for a multi-textured and colourful fermentation.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• In The Refrigerator: After fermentation, store the radishes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to 1 month in the refrigerator.
• Freezing: Fermented Radishes With Garlic Sea Salt Brined are not suitable for freezing because the texture will become mushy once thawed.
