Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 2 tbsp Celtic sea salt
  • 500mL filtered water

Method


  • Place cauliflower florets, turmeric and fennel seeds in bowl. Toss to mix spices through cauliflower.
  • Transfer mixture to sterilised 500mL mason jar, pressing down to remove any large air gaps and leaving about 2.5cm headroom at top.
  • Dissolve salt in filtered water, then pour over cauliflower, ensuring it is fully submerged and leaving about 2.5cm breathing room at top of jar, to allow for expansion.
  • Cover jar with plastic wrap, then screw lid on tightly.
  • Keep in warm place for 3–4 days, then open and taste test until satisfied with result — vegetables should taste tangy.
  • Store in fridge and use within 3–5 days.
