Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Brussels Sprouts
  • 4 Cups Water
  • 1 ½ tbs Sea Salt
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 3 Cloves Garlic peeled
  • 1 large Cabbage leaf Large enough to cover the brussels sprouts in the jar

Instructions

  • Clean your brussels sprouts and remove any dirty leaves
  • In a large clean jar add the water, salt, bay leaf, and 3 cloves of peeled garlic
  • Add the brussels sprouts and cover with the cabbage leaf, this is to help prevent anything from floating to the surface.
    Top with fermentation weights so everything is fully submerged
  • Leave in a cool, dark place for 3-12 weeks.
    At three weeks the brussels sprouts will be crunchy and slightly sour and salty.
    At twelve weeks the brussels sprouts will be slightly softer (they still have a slight crunch) but will be sour and salty.
