Fermented Giardiniera image

Giardiniera an Italian mix of veggies that you can find processed in your grocery store loaded with sodium and preservatives. Here I take a mix of fresh tasty crunchy vegetables with a touch of heat and fermented to encouraging the growth of good bacteria making this healthy for your body. Fermenting Vessel can be Harsch Crocks, German Crocks, Vegetable Fermentation Masters to simple glass or ceramic bowls, canning jars with weights to hold the food under the liquid .

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 30m

Yield 75-100 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups thinly sliced carrots
2 cups thinly sliced red bell peppers
1 1/2 cups thinly slice onions
2 cups thinly sliced celery
4 cups cauliflower florets
2 cups thinly sliced green tomatoes
2 thinly sliced red jalapenos (keep seed for more heat)
3 long green chili pepperoncini peppers
3 -5 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced super thin
fresh thyme sprig
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons unrefined salt
6 cups filtered mineral water (using chlorinated tap water will prevent the beneficial bacteria to grow.)

Steps:

  • Prepare brine by dissolving the salt in water.
  • Mix all the ingredients except the brine in a large bowl.
  • Add them to the Fermenting Vessel of choice (check description above) packing them down as you go.
  • Fill each jar with the brine, leaving 1½ -2 inches of headroom-the space at the top, between the rim of the jar and the top of the vegetables. Weight the vegetables so they are completely submerged in the brine.
  • Cover the top of the vessel with a lid, coffee filter, paper towel, cheese cloth, or tea towel to keep bugs out and odors inches.
  • Be sure to secure towels with a very tight rubber band or the ring from the canning jars.
  • Place the jar out of direct light.
  • Ferment at room temperature 4 days before checking the flavor. If you prefer the flavor more sour, continue fermenting.
  • If to your taste transfer the jars to the refrigerator.
  • Burp the jars once daily (to release any built-up gasses) the giardiniera does continue to ferment while in the refrigerator.
  • This doesn`t need to be done in my home because we help ourselves to it daily.

This giardiniera is a great way to use up extra vegetables. I had a bunch of carrots, celery, and onions that were about to go bad, so I decided to make a batch of giardiniera. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of fermented foods, but this giardiniera is delicious. The vegetables are still crispy and the flavor is well-balanced.

This giardiniera is the perfect addition to any sandwich or salad. It's also great as a snack on its own.

I followed the recipe exactly and my giardiniera turned out great! The vegetables were crisp and flavorful, and the brine was tangy and slightly spicy. I'm so glad I tried this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my giardiniera turned out too sour. I think I might have added too much vinegar.

This fermented giardiniera is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on sandwiches, salads, and more. I especially love the way the vegetables retain their crunch and flavor after fermenting.
