Turmeric Tuesday Aug. 20th, 2019

Howdy FOLKS! Sorry we have been away for a bit, actually too long from here. But we have been exploring other social media platforms in the meanwhile. So, we hope we are back on the regular to our original blog. Please be patient with us.

This summer we played in our little garden a bit. The Summer heat did not agree with me personally this year, so the minimum was all that happened. We had a small crop of potatoes, onions, garlic, and asparagus this year. Our small square foot garden concept is perfect for us. At the moment, many variety of peppers are coming on strong and soon, we will be doing all kinds of things with them, from dehydrating them, to freezing them, some pickling and YES, fermenting some peppers. Hence why we are here today! I just tried this recipe that I wanted to share on this Turmeric Tuesday for fermented onion relish with onions, bell pepper and TURMERIC. I added a small jalapeno without the seeds to my version. This recipe gives the benefits of all it ingredients plus the added benefit of the probiotics from the ferment. Enjoy!!

This week, we are experimenting with fermentation again. We tried jalapenos and loved them! Added garlic and onions to the jalapenos and WOW!! This week for Turmeric Tuesday, we started our Hot and Spicy Turmeric Fermented Carrots. We will let you know how good they are in about 10 days.

Meanwhile, here’s the recipe so you can follow along with us. Enjoy!

Weighing the carrots.

Slicing the carrots, ginger and garlic.

Adding jalapenos to the mix!

Covering the veggies with a leaf of lettuce to keep them below the brine.

The finished product will sit on the counter for 3-7 days before we test them, then they will go into the refrigerator.
