HOW TO MAKE SAUERKRAUT



How to make sauerkraut image

Try the simplest way to make classic sauerkraut using raw cabbage. This fermented food is great for your gut and goes very well with sausages and mustard

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Condiment

Time 30m

Yield Makes 4 x 450ml jars

Number Of Ingredients 4

2kg very firm, pale green or white cabbage (any leathery outer leaves removed), cored
3 tbsp coarse crystal sea salt (or 6 tbsp flaky sea salt)
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp peppercorns

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash a large tub or bowl (we used on the size of a small washing-up bowl), then rinse with boiling water from the kettle. Make sure that your hands, and everything else coming into contact with the cabbage, are very clean. It's wise to use a container that will comfortably fit the softened cabbage, allowing several inches of room at the top to avoid overflow.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly - a food processor makes light work of this. Layer the cabbage and the salt in the tub or bowl. Massage the salt into the cabbage for 5 mins, wait 5 mins, then repeat. You should end up with a much-reduced volume of cabbage sitting in its own brine. Mix in the caraway seeds and the peppercorns.
  • Cover the surface of the cabbage entirely with a sheet of cling film, then press out all the air bubbles from below. Weigh the cabbage down using a couple of heavy plates, or other weights that fit your bowl, and cover as much of the cabbage as possible. The level of the brine will rise to cover the cabbage a little. Cover the tub and leave in a dark place at a cool room temperature (about 18-20C) for at least five days. It will be ready to eat after five days, but for maximum flavour leave the cabbage to ferment for anywhere between 2-6 weeks (or until the bubbling subsides).
  • Check the cabbage every day or so, releasing any gases that have built up as it ferments, giving it a stir to release the bubbles. If any scum forms, remove it, rinse the weights in boiling water and replace the cling film. You should see bubbles appearing within the cabbage, and possibly some foam on the top of the brine. It's important to keep it at an even, cool room temperature - too cool and the ferment will take longer than you'd like, too warm and the sauerkraut may become mouldy or ferment too quickly, leading to a less than perfect result.
  • The cabbage will become increasingly sour the longer it's fermented, so taste it now and again. When you like the flavour, transfer it to smaller sterilised jars. Will keep in the fridge for up to six months.

SAUERKRAUT RELISH

My mother found this years ago at a Church Bizarre and it is wonderful on sandwiches, brats, hot dogs or even by itself!

Provided by Sandy One

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

canned sauerkraut, well drained
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix together saurkraut, onion, green pepper, celery, celery seed.
  • Bring to boil and dissolve sugar and vinegar.
  • Let cool then add to mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used for sauerkraut, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Look for firm, heads of cabbage with no blemishes.
  • Shred the cabbage finely: The finer the cabbage is shredded, the more surface area it will have for the bacteria to work on, resulting in a more flavorful sauerkraut.
  • Use a variety of spices: In addition to salt, you can add a variety of spices to your sauerkraut, such as caraway seeds, juniper berries, or bay leaves. These spices will add depth and complexity to the flavor of the sauerkraut.
  • Ferment the sauerkraut in a cool place: The ideal temperature for fermenting sauerkraut is between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature is too high, the sauerkraut may become too sour or even spoil. If the temperature is too low, the fermentation process will slow down.
  • Be patient: Sauerkraut takes time to ferment, so don't expect it to be ready overnight. The fermentation process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the temperature and the type of cabbage used.

Conclusion:

Sauerkraut is a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is a good source of probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can help to improve gut health. Sauerkraut can be used as a condiment, a side dish, or an ingredient in a variety of dishes.
