Some of the ferments I’ve been doing lately take weeks or months to come together. There are however many simple ferments that only take a few days, transform the ingredients into something new, and make them better for you.

I’m making lamb chops next week and I thought a puree of fermented mint, leeks and garlic would be great to present with them.

This process can be applied to any of your typical herbs.

Stuff

• 1 bunch of mint
• 1 small leek
• 3 cloves garlic
• 750ml mason jar
• Fermenting weight and airlock lid
• 2% brine

Process

• Roughly chop the ingredients and place in the mason jar
• 
• Drop in your fermenting weight
• 
• Add brine to cover
• Put on the airlock lid
• 
• Wait 3-5 days

Enjoy!
