Ingredients:
- 20-25 Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 1 jalapeno, chopped finely (optional)
- 1/2 sweet onion, thickly sliced
- 2-3 large garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 Tbsp. Kosher salt
- 2 cups fresh filtered water
Getting it done:
- Add the Brussels sprouts, jalapeno, onion, and garlic to a Mason jar.
- In a measuring cup, create your brine by mixing 2 cups warm/hot filtered water with 1 tablespoon of Kosher salt.
- Once dissolved, pour the brine over the Brussels sprout mix, leaving 1.75" at the top. Weigh the ingredients below the brine with a Pickle Pebble.
- Place the top and screw top and leave to ferment in a cool, dark place, like a kitchen pantry. Check it periodically to taste, maybe every 2-3 days. Typical fermentation is about 2 weeks but checks more often if the weather is especially warm.
- Once you are satisfied with the taste, remove the top and pickle pebble and move the jar to the fridge.
NOTES
- It Will lasts nicely in the fridge for up to 2 months.
- Feel free to experiment with other spice combinations: curry, rosemary, and lemon, etc
