Three Ingredient Fermented Onions
These onions are one of the simplest ferments you can make, perfect for those new to fermenting. All you need is onions, garlic, salt, a wide mouth jar and something to weigh your ingredients down.
Three Ingredient Fermented Onions
Makes 1L Jar
Gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free
Ingredients:
3 onions, thinly sliced (you can use brown or red)
4-5 cloves of garlic, peeled (you can use more if you wish)
1 tablespoon of salt
1 cup of water
Instructions:
Mix salt and water together to make the brine.
Add the whole garlic and sliced onions to a 1L wide mouth mason jar.
Pack them in tightly then pour the brine on top to cover.
Top up with any extra water to cover.
Weigh down with a fermentation weight or something that will fit inside your jar.
Place the lid on and leave on the bench out of direct sunlight to ferment.
Leave for 5-10 days or until the taste is to your liking. The brine will get a little cloudy which is normal.
Serve as you wish - they are great in salads or chopped up in avo dip and the brine makes the most delicious starter for my cultured cashew cheese recipe.
