Dill Pickle Radishes | Vegan Lacto-Fermented Vegetables

If you’re intimidated by home fermentation, this is the perfect recipe to start with. Dill Pickle Radishes are the prettiest pink garnish, snack, or toast topper and they require minimal effort for incredible payoff. Unlike sauerkraut, no massaging is required and unlike yogurt, you don’t need a probiotic starter.

Dill Pickle Radishes | Vegan Lacto-Fermented Vegetables

All you need for these delicious Dill Pickle Radishes are a clean jar, 2 bunches of radishes, salt, water, garlic cloves, fresh dill, and optional mustard seeds and peppercorns. Put it all in a jar, wait 3 weeks, and you’ll be well on your way to being a kitchen witch/mad scientist/home fermenter.

I am thinking of making this into a series to include other basic home ferments, including plant based yogurt, kraut, cheese, and vinegars. Please let me know if you have any other topics you’d like me to cover in this series!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of water
  • 2 tbsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp organic cane sugar
  • 2 bunches of radishes (about __ radishes)
  • about 1/4 cup fresh dill
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp mustard seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or measuring cup, dissolve your salt in your water. Set aside.
  2. Scrub your radishes and slice thinly with a mandolin or a sharp knife. Aim for the thickness of a typical sandwich pickle chip, or about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Roughly chop your dill (I use clean kitchen shears) and mince or grate your garlic cloves.
  4. In the bottom of a large clean jar (24-32 ounces), add the chopped dill, minced garlic, and mustard seeds. Place the sliced radishes on top and use clean hands to pack them down firmly.
  5. Finally, pour the cooled salt brine over the radishes. There should be enough brine to completely submerge the radishes. If not, use a clean cabbage leaf or a smaller jar to weigh down the radishes.
  6. Cover with a lid and place in a corner of your kitchen away from any drafts or heat from the stove and allow to ferment for 2-3 weeks. Release pressure by removing the lid once a day and check to make sure the radishes remain submerged under the liquid.
  7. Your fermented radishes will be pink, crisp, and tangy. Store in the fridge and use for sandwiches, veggie burgers, salads, and toasts. Or eat them straight out of the jar.

📖 ☕️ 🎃
A few books I hope to get to in September from my physical TBR 📚
It’s been a summer of quiet solo porch reading with my tomato plants. Since my porch faces west, it’s pretty cool until mid-afternoon even on 90+ degree days.
Love me a good twisted heroine.
I stacked my physical TBR in my non-functional fireplace and I kind of love it 😍 But it makes me want to paint the bricks white.
This summer I’ve been in a serious creativity slump when it comes to cooking and creating new recipes. Sometimes cooking just feels like a chore, ya know? It’s all good, I’ve been focusing more of my time on putting a dent in the ol’ to-be-read pile instead. 📚⁣
When you stop putting all/any of your self worth into Instagram, it becomes so much more fun to actually share and connect 🙃
Chaotic chocolate drizzle energy + arguably too much flaky salt.⁣
Sourdough Saturdays 🍞⁣
Pittsburgh finally has a real all-vegan bakery. I’m talking one with a clean and bright storefront that doesn’t make me want to turn around and never eat a donut again (IYKYK). ⁣
My dad grew these beauties
Juicy little book haul + a few of the library books I’ve been devouring lately 🤗 📚 📖 ⁣
Showing off a few of my 5⭐️ reads from this year before we get too far past the halfway point of the year! I am a library book lover and a lender of the books I own and love most, so unfortunately many of the books I’ve rated 5⭐️ this year are no longer in my possession. In particular, I’d like to mention Purple Hibiscus by @chimamanda_adichie which is possibly the best book I’ve read this year. I loaned my copy to a friend at the start of quarantine so it wasn’t available for the photoshoot 📖
Last three//next three 📚 ⁣
Let something ordinary arrest you with its beauty today. If you can lie awake for hours drowning in fear, you can let one moment consume you with joy or at least surprise that life can be so sweet. ⁣
Just the dreamiest at-home cardamom vanilla latte 🥰 I added a pinch of sea salt and cardamom to the coffee grounds before brewing as well as a dash of vanilla in the milk while frothing. Such a tasty afternoon pick me up (because apparently now I drink coffee any time of day 🙃)⁣
In college I ate oatmeal with banana and peanut butter every single morning, alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. That’s hundreds of bowls of the exact same oatmeal I’ve eaten in my life. And it still hasn’t gotten old 😆⁣
