Lacto-Fermented Ginger

Lacto-Fermented Ginger

We used fresh Ginger in a dish we cooked yesterday which set my fermenting mind in motion. We always have jars of fermented Garlic on hand, but Ginger? Oh why not…..

Ingredients:-

2 Hands of Ginger, roughly cut into lumps
2 heaped Table Spoons of Himalayan Salt
½ a litre of water.

Method:-

(1) Heat the water to dissolve the Salt and allow to cool to room temperature.
(2) Add the Ginger to a clip top jar.
(3) Pour the brine in so that the Ginger is covered.
(4) Seal the jar and allow to ferment. Fermentation will start in a couple of days. Allow it to ferment out and it will store for months.

We’re discovered that the fresh Ginger in our recipe last night was really good for Sue’s digestive issues. So hopefully a pickled version will work equally well. This brine was nearer to the 3% rather than the usual 2% salinity. I’m expecting quite a vigorous / violent fermentation as there’s lots of sugars in the root…..

Moroccan Pork Liver

OK Pork Liver might not seem a very inspiring starting point. But it was 63p for 500g. So sleeves up!

Mix the following dry ingredients in Milk and soak your Liver in it for a couple of hours:-

Marinade Ingredients:-

1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Paprica
1 tsp Chilli Powder
Salt & Pepper
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Milk

For the coating Sue mixed the following into Flour and dredged the Liver

Flour coating:-

Plain Flour (Gluten free in our case)
1 tsp Coriander
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Paprica
1 tsp Chilli Powder
Salt & Pepper
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt

Sue then Caramelised some sliced Onion and fried the coated Liver with the Onion so that it was still slightly pink in the middle. A dash of Cider Vinegar and a squeeze of Lemon juice and it was good to go.

We served it on a bed of Pasta with a Tomato based Chilli sauce, some stir-fried vegetables and a bit of deep fried Cabbage on the top for colour. Very tasty and silly cheap!
