Fermented Radishes With Garlic

Instructions

1. Start by washing the radishes thoroughly under running water. Trim off the greens and tails, then slice the radishes into thin rounds. Place the sliced radishes into a clean glass jar.

2. Add the smashed garlic cloves, sea salt, and whole peppercorns to the jar with the radishes. These ingredients will infuse the radishes with a delightful garlicky and peppery flavor.

3. Fill the jar with filtered water, making sure the radishes are completely submerged. Leave some space at the top to allow for bubbling during the fermentation process.

4. Use a clean weight, like a small glass jar or clean stone, to keep the radishes submerged under the brine. This will help prevent any mold or spoilage during fermentation.

5. Cover the jar with a clean cloth or paper towel secured with a rubber band. This will allow air to flow while keeping out any dust or contaminants.

6. Place the jar in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Let the radishes ferment for about 3-5 days, depending on your preference for tanginess. Remember to burp the jar daily to release any built-up gases from the fermentation process.

7. After the desired fermentation time, taste the radishes to ensure they have reached the flavor you desire. Once ready, store the jar in the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process.

8. Enjoy your homemade Fermented Radishes With Garlic as a crunchy and probiotic-rich addition to your favorite dishes. They make a fantastic topping for tacos, Buddha bowls, or simply serve them as a tangy side dish.
