Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 15 grams Sea salt
- 500 milliliters Water
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 5 grams Dill
- 5 grams Peppercorns
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the carrots thoroughly. If necessary, peel them to remove any imperfection or dirt on the skin.
Step 2
Slice the carrots into sticks or rounds, depending on your preference.
Step 3
Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the sea salt in the water to create a brine solution.
Step 5
Pack the carrots tightly into a clean 1-liter jar. Tuck in the dill, garlic, and peppercorns as you go.
Step 6
Pour the salt brine over the carrots, ensuring they are completely submerged. Leave at least 2 cm of space at the top of the jar to allow for expansion during fermentation.
Step 7
Use a fermentation weight or a smaller jar filled with water to weigh down the carrots and keep them submerged.
Step 8
Cover the jar with a fermentation lid or a clean cloth secured with a rubber band.
Step 9
Store the jar at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Let the carrots ferment for 5 to 7 days.
Step 10
Check the carrots daily for taste and texture. The brine should become cloudy, and there should be a tangy aroma.
Step 11
Once fermented to your liking, seal the jar with a proper lid and transfer it to the refrigerator.
Step 12
The fermented carrots can be enjoyed immediately but will continue to develop flavors in the fridge.
