Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
-
Add the sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, raisins, coconut, and walnuts to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Drizzle the maple syrup over the mixture and add the apple cider vinegar. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
-
Start packing the mixture tightly into clean Mason jars, pressing down firmly as you go to release any air bubbles. Leave about an inch of space at the top of the jar.
-
If the liquid released from the vegetables is not enough to cover them completely, add filtered water to ensure they are submerged. Leave about an inch of space from the top of the jar to allow for expansion during fermentation.
-
Cover the jars loosely with lids or cloth to allow gases to escape during fermentation. Place the jars in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, for 3-5 days to ferment. Check daily and press the vegetables down to ensure they remain submerged.
-
Taste the kraut after 3 days. If you prefer a tangier flavor, let it ferment for a few more days. Once you're happy with the taste, seal the jars tightly and store them in the refrigerator.
-
Enjoy your Fermented Carrot Cake Kraut as a flavorful addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a healthy snack on its own. The probiotic-rich kraut is not only delicious but also great for your gut health!
