Sausage, sauerkraut, and spinach
Long day of meetings -- but it was very interesting and fun.
I still managed to make a good dinner:
Chicken sausage cooked in coconut oil (in a seasoned cast iron pan)
Homemade sauerkraut!
Fresh spinach salad with heirloom tomato, grated carrot, hard-boiled egg and gorgonzola with vinaigrette
Organic rose wine
Everything was organic -- even the coconut and olive oil. I seasoned with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
The sauerkraut was really good. Although I think it needs to ferment a bit longer. I let it sit for just over a week. It was good -- but I think another week will make it even better.
I'm also in the process of lacto-fermenting some dill pickles and orange marmalade. Lacto-fermentation involves using whey. I'll let you know how those turn out. The pickles probably won't be ready till December -- I have heard that they take about a month. Not sure about the marmalade.
Oh and by the way, lacto-fermentation is really really good for you -- due to the probiotics. Pretty much everything you buy in the store is pasteurized -- which means all the good enzymes and probiotics have been destroyed.
OK, it's time for bed now. Glass of milk and then bed.
