reCAP Jar-diniera Fermented Vegetables

Ready time: 24 days

Jar-diniera (a nod to Italian giardiniera) is a mix of chopped vegetables preserved through fermentation, creating a naturally tangy flavor and a healthy dose of probiotics: perfect for sandwiches, salads, or a charcuterie board.

Ingredients:

  • Chopped carrots
  • Cauliflower
  • Celery
  • Peppers
  • Onion
  • Jalapeño
  • Garlic (adjust the mix to your taste)

Brine:

  • 5 tbsp salt
  • 2 quarts water

How to make it:

  1. Combine the water and salt, stirring until fully dissolved.
  2. Peel the garlic and chop the vegetables.
  3. Pack the vegetables tightly into a clean mason jar.
  4. Pour in the brine until the vegetables are completely submerged.
  5. Seal with a Mason jar fermenting airlock.
  6. Let ferment at room temperature about 3 weeks.

Serving ideas: Sandwiches or burgers, mixed into salads, on a charcuterie board, as a topping for grilled meats, or stirred into grain bowls. The longer it ferments, the tangier and more complex the flavor gets.
