My second time making this recipe, inspired from the Lacto-Fermentation ebook from Cultures for Health, and it is awesome! I used half and half orange and yellow sweet peppers this time, along with celery leaves, fresh basil and juice of one lime. I let it ferment for 3 days; condo is warm at this time of year. I use pickle pebbles and pipes.
Had a couple of scoops on my toast this morning with tempeh toast topper… yum!
