Take sauerkraut to a new flavor sensation with our organic Herbs de Provence Spice Blend and Celtic Sea Salt.

Ingredients

2 lbs green cabbage, finely shredded
2–3 teaspoons Celtic Sea Salt
6 oz peeled carrots, cut into small dices or matchsticks
1 Tablespoon ChouAmi's Herbs de Provence Spice Blend
Large stainless steel, glass, or ceramic mixing bowl
Le Parfait Familia Wiss Terrine or Screw Top glass jar 1L (32 oz)
The Little Fermenter device
Sauerkraut pounder, wooden spoon, or rolling pin

Directions

Put shredded cabbage in the mixing bowl. Add Celtic Sea Salt into cabbage and massage with your hands for 3–4 minutes. Don’t be timid. Give your cabbage lots of good squeezes.
Allow the massaged cabbage to rest in the bowl for about 30 minutes so that the salt can draw out liquid from the cabbage.
After resting, add in the carrots and Herbs de Provence spice blend and mix well.
Transfer the mixture to the Le Parfait glass jar, a third at a time, along with any liquid that has been released. Using a sauerkraut pounder, wooden spoon, or the end of a rolling pin, gently but firmly pack the cabbage into the jar after each addition.
Keep pressing until the top of the cabbage is at about 1-1/2 inches (3.75 cm) below the rim of the wide-mouth opening. If you have time, let the mixture stand for 24 hours to help build up more liquid (see Note below). This will help prevent overflow later.
Assemble The Little Fermenter onto the jar according to directions. Allow to ferment for 10–13 days on your kitchen counter, away from direct sunlight. Check every few days that there is water in the moat, and top off as needed.
When ready, remove The Little Fermenter and wipe the rim of the jar with a clean cloth. Make sure the Le Parfait sealing cap and screw lid are both clean with no brine, salt, or acid, and place on the jar. Store in the refrigerator.

Recipe Note

Note: Depending on the quality of the cabbage, you may or may not get a lot of liquid. Add more brine* to cover the cabbage by 1 inch (2.5 cm), if needed.
