Copying our teacher’s (Martyna) post on Instagram, I soaked some hard boiled eggs in the Kvass from this class, not only beautiful to look at, the earthy beetroot flavour added depth to the eggs - thank you Martyna 🙏

Red cabbage sauerkraut
Buoyed by the deliciousness of the last one. I’ve gone for red cabbage this time. Added chili, carrot, garlic, bay leaf, dill, fennel and caraway seed and some cardamom Red cabbage doesnt seem to give its moisture up as well so topped up with brine

@Kay Packwood starting wise I just used tablespoon of grated ginger root ( I put a chilli and some grated turmeric root at the start too) Repeated that for about 8 days until it was fermenting well. Then to make the sodas was just a matter of putting 250-300 ml of the ‘starter bug’ into the fruit sodas and a tablespoon of castor sugar ) ( one was black tea, vanilla and raisins ; one was fruit tea; one was fresh lemon juice and the rind of 2 lemons)) and secondary fermentation for 5 days ( the black tea one was very “lively” and needed a lot of burping) To maintain the original bug, I’m just adding grated ginger and sugar after topping up the water level to replace what I used
Kvass
So the kvass is ready after just over 2 weeks. Really really earthy and delicious. Instead of juicing the remaining beet ( I dint have a juicer and don’t want one🤣) so I turned the fermented beetroot into a beetroot ketchup and it’s really really delicious. I’m a total convert

Well that hot pineapple fermented sauce was a rip roaring success- really delicious. Next time I think I’ll add more chili and increase the pineapple to onion ratio - thank you @Martyna Krol
