Salsa

So... everyone is talking about good bacteria in their yogurt.  You can get similarly awesome bacteria from sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables.  Here I have a recipe for fermented salsa.  It is super tasty and keeps in the fridge for quite a while.  Plus, you can get that good bacteria piled on top of a good tortilla chip!

The recipe is here:  http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2010/10/the-benefits-of-lacto-fermentation-lacto-fermented-salsa-recipe.html.

No need to copy it here, I guess.

P.S. Your grandmother probably grew up eating fermented vegetables.  Ask her about them.

Sweet! I'll have to try it! Also, I want to make refrigerator pickles. Can you post that?

I don't have a recipe for them. Let me know if you find a good one.

Didn't you make them for us in Alabama? I swear it was you...

Kristen said...

I did, but I didn't save the recipe.

Garlic dill fridge pickles - they're awesome. The garlic adds a little bit of burn, and they made enough to perfectly (well, there was a little bit more brine than I needed, but still...) fit a half gallon mason jar. They're divine. I'm probably never going to buy pickles again, especially if I find a good bread and butter/sweet pickle recipe to go along with these.
