Lacto Fermented Garlic

Lacto Fermented Garlic

There’s a Polish Deli just around the corner. We love Garlic. But I might have over done it with the 5 bulbs I bought last week. So what is the traditional / historic way to deal with an excess of Garlic?

Ingredients:-

Garlic cloves, cut in half - lots of!
2 table spoons of salt
2 table spoons of sugar
Dill Seeds, whole (They have the Lactobacillus bacteria you need)
Black Pepper Corns (They also the have Lactobacillus bacteria you need)
Water

Method:-

(1) Add the Salt and Sugar to the water. It will dissolve over time. Don’t heat it as you will kill the bacteria.
(2) Cover the Garlic cloves, Dill seeds and Pepper Corns in the brine.
(3) Pour into a sealable jar and pop the lid on.
(4) Vent every day, more often as the fermentation peaks. (You will fill the house with the smell of Garlic!)
(5) After a month or so the fermentation will die off. Good to eat. But only use ½ the amount which you would have with fresh Garlic!!!!

Crispy Chilli Beef #2

This is a revisit to the Crispy Chilli Beef we did a few weeks ago. Recipe here. This time we used Rice Vermicelli from a Chinese supermarket in town.

The Vermicelli was only supposed to be blanched so mixing the sauce into it actually extended the cooking process which made it stick together.  Perhaps not the result we were looking for. But still very tasty.

Sadly those are the last of the “Chinese” Popadums, but they were less than £2 for a pack of 25. So I think we can possibly stretch to another pack next time I’m passing…...
