Fermenting Cauliflower in a Mason Jar

If you like cauliflower, you'll love fermented cauliflower. Spiced up with a little curry and chili, the vegetable tastes great in a salad or a sandwich. By adding spices such as curry, chili, mustard seeds, caraway or fresh herbs, you can create great flavor combinations during fermentation. Just be a little creative and experiment - that way you'll have a little surprise in your jar every time. We like to try this out with small Mason Jar glasses such as the Mason Jar Elite 475 ml or the Ball Mason Jar Wide 475 ml and test different recipes. If you've found the right combination during fermentation - off to the big jar! Do you fancy fermenting cauliflower with curry in a jar? Let's get started!

Fermenting Cauliflower with Curry in a Mason Jar

Fermenting Cauliflower

What you need:

• 1 x Ball Mason Jar Wide 950ml
• 1 x glass weights (Wide Mouth)
• 1 x Fermentation attachment (Wide Mouth)
• 1 cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons curry
• Chili to taste (we recommend a pinch)
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons salt
• Water

And here's how it works: First, wash the cauliflower well. Cut it into small florets. Put it in the Mason Jar. Try to pack as much as possible into the jar so that there are as few empty spaces as possible. You can fill the empty spaces with garlic cloves. At the end, pour with the salt, the curry into the glass and fill it with water. When filling it, it is important that you leave some space at the top so that your glass weight for fermentation still fits in exactly. Left: Fermentation attachment for wide mouth glass, Right: Glass weight for weighing down Now screw your fermentation attachment onto the glass and place your Ball Mason Jar in a cool, dark place. After about 5-7 days you can taste the cauliflower for the first time - do you want the taste to be more intense? Then let the cauliflower ferment for up to 2 weeks. As soon as you are happy with your result - add it to the salad and seal the rest with the airtight lid and store the cauliflower. Enjoy and try out different spices!
