Ingredients
- 500 g Carrots
- 50 g Chickpea Miso
- 500 ml Filtered Water
- 10 g Sea Salt
- 2 pieces Garlic Cloves
- 10 g Fresh Dill
- 5 g Mustard Seeds
- 2 g Red Chili Flakes
- 20 g Whey Protein Isolate
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the carrots and peel them. Cut the carrots into sticks approximately 10cm long and about 1cm thick.
Step 2
In a large bowl, dissolve the sea salt and whey protein isolate in the filtered water to create a brine solution. Stir well until both the salt and protein have fully dissolved.
Step 3
Add chickpea miso to the brine and mix thoroughly. The miso will aid in fermentation while enhancing the protein content.
Step 4
Place the carrot sticks vertically into a clean glass jar, packing them tightly.
Step 5
Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them to release their aroma, then add to the jar.
Step 6
Add the fresh dill, mustard seeds, and red chili flakes to the jar, distributing them evenly among the carrots.
Step 7
Pour the brine mixture over the carrots, ensuring they are fully submerged but leaving about 2-3cm of space at the top of the jar.
Step 8
Cover the jar with a loosely fitting lid or a piece of cheesecloth secured with a rubber band to allow gases to escape during fermentation.
Step 9
Store the jar in a cool, dark place at room temperature (around 18-22°C) for about 5 to 7 days, depending on the desired level of fermentation.
Step 10
Check the carrots daily to ensure they remain submerged, pressing them down as necessary.
Step 11
After 5 to 7 days, taste the carrots. If they have reached your desired flavor, seal the jar with a lid and transfer to the refrigerator to slow fermentation.
Step 12
Enjoy your high protein fermented carrots as a nutritious snack or as part of a meal!
