Lacto Fermented Garlic

Lacto Fermented Garlic

There’s a Polish Deli just around the corner. We love Garlic. But I might have over done it with the 5 bulbs I bought last week. So what is the traditional / historic way to deal with an excess of Garlic?

Ingredients:-

Garlic cloves, cut in half - lots of!
2 table spoons of salt
2 table spoons of sugar
Dill Seeds, whole (They have the Lactobacillus bacteria you need)
Black Pepper Corns (They also the have Lactobacillus bacteria you need)
Water

Method:-

(1) Add the Salt and Sugar to the water. It will dissolve over time. Don’t heat it as you will kill the bacteria.
(2) Cover the Garlic cloves, Dill seeds and Pepper Corns in the brine.
(3) Pour into a sealable jar and pop the lid on.
(4) Vent every day, more often as the fermentation peaks. (You will fill the house with the smell of Garlic!)
(5) After a month or so the fermentation will die off. Good to eat. But only use ½ the amount which you would have with fresh Garlic!!!!

Turkey Thigh Kebabs

We had half a boned out Turkey thigh in the fridge from yesterday so we thought a  Kebab might be fun on a sunny evening.

Ingredients for the Marinade:-

Fish Sauce
Soy Sauce
Salt & Pepper
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Chilli flakes
Dried Coriander leaf
Mixed Herbs
A squeeze of Lime juice
Oil


Ingredients for the Kebabs:-

Onions
Tomatoes
Asparagus Mushrooms
Oil

Method:-

(1) Cut the turkey meat into reasonable sized cubes.
(2) Retain the skin to fry later.
(3) Mix the Marinade ingredients in a bowl.
(4) Add the Turkey to the Marinade, stir to coat the meat and place in the fridge for an hour or so,
(5) Thread the Kebab items onto skewers alternation between meat and vegetables.
(6) Drizzle with Oil and grill, turning regularly so that the meat is evenly cooked.
(7) Deep fry the Turkey Skin until it is crispy. Drain and break up.

We served ours on a bed of boiled Rice and Edamame Beans for a bit of colour, with the Turkey Skin crisps scattered over.
