Curtido Roja or there has been a murder
It's fermenting time at Shipwrights Cottage as organic cabbages are $3 at the local farmers market and the beetroot are also cheap. My favourite is Curtido Roja a Salvadorian sauerkraut with beetroot. One cabbage, two beetroots and a handful of beans make two good sized jars. One to keep and one to give away as a present. As with all slow jobs there is an initial burst of activity then two weeks of looking, poking and tasting before you can eat the ferment.
We will be making this lovely ferment at our next fermenting workshop at Shipwrights Cottage. So come along and have fun with the beetroot juice. Book your ticket here for the Fermenting Workshop.
