Fermented Jerusalem artichoke


 
I have prepared roasted Jerusalem artichokes for a few meals, the taste is mild, only the nearly crispy skin is interesting. The problem is this pre-biotic vegetable is famous for causing a lot of gas. On searching the internet, learned that fermenting it is the way to deal with this issue.

1. Scrub clean, cut into 1/2cm thick slices, together with thin slices of ginger and garlic (optional) season with 1.5% its weight of salt and 1% of brown sugar, mix well and rest until juice comes out, around 3 hours.

2. Pack artichoke and juice in a clean jar, cover with brine (1.5% salt and 1% brown sugar).
3. Cover the opening with cling film, the whole bottle in a bag to keep light out, keep at room temperature, bubbles will form the next day.

4. Check the taste and when sour enough (around a week), cover with lid and keep in the fridge.
